Breathe Slowly
The “4-7-8 breath” technique is touted as a calming practice and tool to combat anger.
Exhale completely through your mouth, then inhale through your nose for a count of four. Hold your breath for seven seconds, then exhale through your mouth for a count of eight. It’s not possible to breathe deeply and be anxious at the same time.
