Day 9 for me. It was a long week and I had to deal with a LOT of anxiety. High pressure week at work, plus anxiety is, like, just a problem I have, lol. But I had a moment where I felt some pretty intense anxiety where normally I would think "alright, just go buy a six pack and deal with it tonight", but instead I chose to take 5 minutes and just BREATHE. Breathe in, slowly and deeply, through my nose, using my diaphragm, and breathe out through my mouth. I was back in a pharmaceutical cleanroom (where live cameras are always watching you) and must have looked rather silly just standing there breathing :P but I did it, and it was surprisingly effective. Felt really calm for the rest of the day.
