Try to begin by breathing in slowly for three seconds, then slowly out for four. Practice this breathing technique frequently if your anxiety is in feelings and not physical. It also strengthens your muscles and prevents tension from returning to the rest of your body. [substeps] Sit on the floor or bed with your legs extended. For morning anxiety, repeat a cycle of deep breathing for several minutes before you get out of bed. However, you can perform deep breathing anytime during the day when you feel stress or panic. You'll find it great practice to rise in a chair, sit up, or lie on your side to relax your body. [substeps] Start with short, breaths deep and regular.
