If you’ve ever had anxiety hit you out of nowhere, the tight chest, buzzing head, and that weird “something’s wrong” feeling you can’t name, you probably already know one thing: your body reacts way faster than your thoughts can keep up. And honestly, that’s the annoying part. Anxiety doesn’t knock first. It just barges in, kicks off its shoes, and makes a mess of your whole system.
Let’s be honest. Anxiety does not exactly come knocking at the door and wait in a nice manner to allow you to prepare. It appears out of the blue – during the meetings, in the traffic, when your brain decides that it is the right moment to relive all the embarrassing moments you have ever had.
As it hits, your heart begins to race. Breathing gets shallow. Your chest tightens. You get a sense that you are running in a spiral, although nothing is really wrong.
Deep breathing exercises for anxiety come in there, literally.
Are you worried about not having adequate time during the day to practice deep breathing exercises? A big myth surrounding breathing techniques is that it takes a lot of time. In reality it takes just 2-5 minutes of time during the day to practice.
