Calming down in a split moment

From years of trying to figure out what works to calm a person down and trying out different things, one of the best things i've found to work when you want to calm down fast is to take a few deeps breaths. Somehow when you breath in deeply and fill your lungs with some fresh oxygen, your body automatically relaxes in a flash. I do this when something really stressful happens and i need to refocus and calm down so i can look at the situation in a calm state. I end up taking about 5 or 6 deep breaths to fully appreciate the benefits. A lot of the time we are in so much of a hurry that we are so used to taking shallow breaths. Taking slow deep breaths every once in a while helps the body de-stress. This is why there are many books out there that talk about deep breathing to relax. It's used all the time in meditation and Yoga exercises and poses. To benefit from deep breathing, take a little time each day to take a few deep breaths. Goodnight all!
