Shallow breathing, or chest breathing, often accompanies stress and anxiety. This type of breathing activates the Sympathetic Nervous System, which can exacerbate feelings of anxiety and tension. Chronic shallow breathing can lead to a cycle of stress, where the body remains in a heightened state of alertness, making it difficult to relax. Shallow breathing limits the diaphragm's range of motion, reducing the amount of oxygen that reaches our lungs and bloodstream. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and a general sense of unease.General Recommendations for breathing methods. * Start Slowly: Begin with a few cycles of 4-7-8 breathing and gradually increase the number of repetitions as you become more comfortable with the technique.* Modify as Needed: If the breath-holding parts are too challenging, modify the counts slightly to suit your comfort level.
