Practice deep breathing to calm your mind from "summary" of Master Your Emotions & Motivation by Thibaut Meurisse

When you find yourself overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, one of the most effective ways to regain control of your emotions is to practice deep breathing. Deep breathing is a simple yet powerful technique that can help you calm your mind and bring your focus back to the present moment. To practice deep breathing, find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and take a slow, deep breath in through your nose, allowing your lungs to fill with air. Hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any tension or negative emotions. As you continue to breathe deeply, focus on the sensation of your breath entering and leaving your body. Pay attention to the rise and fall of your chest and the sound of your breath as it moves in and out. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your attention back to your breath without judgment. Deep breathing can help activate your body's relaxation response, which can reduce stress hormones and lower your heart rate. By practicing deep breathing regularly, you can train your mind to remain calm and centered in the face of challenges. Remember that deep breathing is a skill that takes time to develop, so be patient with yourself as you work to master this powerful technique.
