    The Effectiveness Of Deep Breathing Relaxation Technique To Decrease Anxiety

    Have you ever noticed how you breathe when you feel relaxed? The next time
    you are relaxed, take a moment to notice how your body feels or think about how you
    breathe when you first wake up in the morning or just before you fall asleep. Breathing
    exercises can help you relax, because they make your body feel like it does when you
    are already relaxed. Breathing is a necessity of life that usually occurs without much
    thought. When you breathe in air, blood cells receive oxygen and release carbon
    dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a waste product that is arried back through your body and
    exhaled. Improper breathing can upset the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange and
    contribute to anxiety, panic attacts, fatigue, and other physical.

    A sigh of relief or a sigh to relieve: The psychological and physiological relief


    effect of deep breaths (Vlemnincx 2016) that this deep breathing is one of the best ways
    to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message
    to your brain to calm down and relax. The brain then sends this message to your body.
    Those things that happen when you are stressed, such as increased heart rate, fast
    breathing, and high blood pressure, all decrease as you breathe deeply to relax.

    Non-pharmacological techniques are believed can decrease pain through gate


    control mechanism and increase the stimulation of endorphin expenditure. There is a
    variety of these techniques, such as abdominal breathing, variable breathing from the
    nasal passages, breathing against the resistance of respiratory tracts, breathing at
    different physical postures, holding breath. This technique can have palliative effects on
    anxiety, depression, stress disorders after accidents, chronic pain and stress caused by
    the disease.

    The Effectiveness of Diaphragmatic Breathing Relaxation Training for Reducing


    Anxiety Yu Fen Chen 2016 assumsed a very beneficial breathing exercise that can be
    practiced anywhere is to inhale deeply to the count of five, hold the breath for five
    counts, then exhale slowly to the count of five. Repeat this up to 10 times in a
    row. Breathing-cued relaxation is an extension of the deep breathing from progressive
    relaxation training. It involves the client taking a very deep breath, pulling the
    diaphragm down so that the stomach rises or pushes out. That breath is held a few
    moments and then is released slowly, releasing tension and increasing relaxation as the
    air is slowly exhaled. This is repeated 6–8 times with the client relaxing more on each
    out breath. The number of breaths taken and released is up to the client. One client may
    find 3–4 breaths sufficient, whereas another may prefer 8–12.

    The next time you’re feeling anxious try this simple relaxation technique: Inhale
    slowly and deeply through your nose. Keep your shoulders relaxed. Your abdomen
    should expand, and your chest should rise very little. Exhale slowly through your
    mouth. As you blow air out, purse your lips slightly, but keep your jaw relaxed. You
    may hear a soft “whooshing” sound as you exhale. Repeat this breathing exercise for
    several minutes. You can perform this exercise as often as needed. It can be done
    standing up, sitting down, or lying down. If you find this exercise difficult or believe it's
    making you anxious or panicky, stop for now. Try it again in a day or so and build up
    the time gradually.

    I think sometimes people with a panic disorder initially feel increased anxiety or
    panic while doing this exercise. This may be due to anxiety caused by focusing on your
    breathing, or you may be unable to do the exercise correctly without some practice.. The
    finding that instructed deep breaths induce psychological relief and spontaneous sighs
    induce physiological relief is in line with the hypothesis that a sigh is a resetter. By
    sighing, temporary relief is elicited, which enables coping with stress and regulation of
    emotions
