Photo by @mentalhealthremix This is the one breathing technique I always try to remember when I'm really anxious. It has saved me from having an anxiety attack a few times. It scientifically works to switch your brain out of fight or flight mode. When you first try this technique it will feel like you can't breathe out to the count of 8, but just keep doing it and it will get easier. If I'm doing this to try to prevent an anxiety attack when I feel one coming on I usually do it for a few minutes straight. The really hard part is to even remember it when you are feeling that anxious, so it's good to practice doing it when you're feeling anxious but not to the level of an anxiety attack too. Please note that I am neither a scientist nor any kind of therapist or medical professional. I'm just sharing an important technique in my mental health toolkit from my own experience. I really hope that it can help you too!
