Breathing helps relieve tension and anger

Post by BucksBornNBred »

When you start to feel tense and angry, try to isolate yourself for 15 minutes and concentrate on relaxing and calm, steady breathing:

Inhale and exhale deeply 3 or 4 times in a row.
Count slowly to four as you inhale.
Count slowly to eight as you exhale.
Focus on feeling the air move in and out of your lungs.

Yes, breathing is definitely something I would recommend.

Generally preferable to not breathing unless you are underwater or in a room full of toxic gas. :D

I seem to be using the technique a lot at the moment with all these snow forecasts! :lol:

I'm not too stressed out by the snow.

I'm thinking though that this controlled breathing technique might certainly come in handy the closer we get to 29th March with Brexit still not resolved!! :lol:
