Our body is an intriguing mechanism that has a self-regulation process scientists are still studying to this day. Our breath is at the center of these regulatory mechanisms, which means we can trick our brain to feel less anxious by just breathing! This works so well because when our breathing is slow and methodical, our body recognizes that our breathing must have slowed because we no longer need the adrenaline that the brain is signaling our body to produce when we’re breathing rapidly from anxiety. So even if you are still feeling anxious, take a moment to breathe in a controlled manner 5-6 times, and your anxiety will soon melt away.
