Yawning For Relaxation

Have you ever noticed that dogs yawn when they're nervous? There is a good reason - yawning triggers relaxation. Dogs yawn to help calm themselves down in stressful situations. A yawn forces you to take a deep breath, slow down the breathing, and to exhale fully. This counteracts the fast shallow breathing experienced as a symptom of anxiety. Stretching is effective in lengthening the muscles - the opposite of short, tensed muscles. This technique can be practiced anytime, anywhere.
