STEP 2
Next, control your breathing by inhaling for five seconds and then exhaling for five seconds. Breathe in through your nose, sending air into your lower abdomen. this is called deep abdominal breathing. Breathe out gently through your mouth, as though you are softly blowing into a straw. Try to make your breathing as smooth and even as possible.

Remember…
The calming effects of this exercise last about four hours. So, it’s recommended that you do it three times a day: once when you wake up in the morning, once before lunch, and once before dinner.
But if you are choosing to do it only once a day, do it right after you wake up in the morning. The morning session is the most important because that’s when our cortisol secretion is at its highest. (Cortisol is the body’s stress hormone.)
