2 Minutes Can Make A Difference-Breathe To Relax Immediately

It doesn't take long to use the breath to relax and rapidly down-regulate stress. By breathing in for a count of 4 and sighing out forcefully, we signal to our nervous system that it's safe for us to relax. Sighing is our body's most powerful mechanism for discharging stress and by consciously deciding to breathe like this, we activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which results in an immediate step from fight or flight to rest and digest.
