Do you experience anxiety or panic attacks? Do you struggle daily with your mental health? Contacting your counselor is always a good course of action, but it helps to have tips to deal on your own. The following article goes over ways to handle these conditions on a daily basis.
Since a tight feeling in your lungs is so common during panic attacks, deep breathing can interrupt that cycle. Carmichael suggests three-part breathing, which is one of the easier techniques to teach those new to yoga or meditation therapies. Also known as Dirga Pranayama, for this practice you completely fill your lungs with air, inhaling into your belly, ribcage and upper chest, and then reverse the process. It’s important, Carmichael says, to work on this when you’re relaxed so that you can rely on it in the throes of anxiety to shift your autonomic nervous system back towards a calmer state.
