Stress Management: Breathing Exercises

Overview

Breathing exercises are a good way to relax, reduce tension, and relieve stress. 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. Some breathing exercises include belly breathing and roll breathing.
