Stop Taking Deep Breaths.
Proper breathing has become REALLY challenging in our modern world. ⤵️
We assume the body knows how much air it needs at all times, but breathing has become warped by chronic stress, sedentary lifestyles and overheated homes.
I've found the majority of people with chronic anxiety are OVER-BREATHING (taking in MORE air than they need), so the advice to “take a deep breath” won't fix really anything.
Signs of over breathing include:
Tired all the time
Frequent sighing + yawning
Achy muscles and joints
Dizzy spells or feeling spacey / “brain fog”
Anxiety
Disturbed sleep
Erratic heartbeats
Breathing through the mouth
Audible breathing during rest
Taking large breaths prior to talking
Movement of shoulders while breathing
