I do this every morning and evening for 10 or 15 minutes,learned it in my rehab.Get in a comfortable position in a quiet area bedroom etc...close eyes breath in for 4 seconds,hold it for 4 seconds,breath out for 8 seconds,hold 4 ....and repeat...all breathing should be done thru nose if possible ,,,eyes closed I try to clear my mind sometimes I think about everything,,but its my time...thought it was ******** until I did it a bunch of times

Thanks for sharing exwell. I've done breathing exercises before but it's been awhile. They do have a huge inpact on how you feel. I think I'll give it try tomorrow morning

Good idea exwell. Breathing exercises are supposed to be good for reducing stress/anxiety levels. Seems to help in my case

I was taught to focus on the air going in and out of your lungs also different parts of your whole body feet,legs hands etc...sounds strange but if you give it a chance it seems to work.....they don't teach this in our schools but we seem to be the exception for now
