4. Concentrate on breathing
While breathing is an involuntary action, which means everyone does it without thinking about it, you might not be breathing properly. Your breaths might be short and inconsistent, which means that you might not be expelling enough carbon dioxide and inhaling enough oxygen to cleanse your body.
This can compound your stress. Try doing deep breathing exercises. While exhaling, count to 20, and do the same while inhaling. Relax your diaphragm and focus on the sensation.
Your heart rate will lower and your mind will become much more relaxed.
