  • Square breathing is a really simple way to focus your mind as you slow your breathing down.
    Focus your gaze on anything nearby, a window, door, picture frame. Just use it to trace your eyes around the shape as you count a 4 second intake of breath, hold it for 4 seconds and then breathe out for 4 seconds.
    Keep breathing in this way and tracing your eyeline around the shape to help you focus. You can do this anywhere, any time and nobody even needs to know you’re doing it.
    It can take a few minutes to calm the body but it can stop anxiety from escalating. Why not give it a try 😊

    I really don't like breathing exercises with given time periods. Because they are always so slow for me I feel like I'm gonna suffocate while others on the comments say they almost hyperventilated because it's way to fast for them. It might be a good exercise but everyone should find how long makes sense for them.

    Once I calmed my anxiety petting a dog, I was coming out of school and still I had that anxiety on me because the teacher just yelled for a whole hour next to me, and for yelling I have kind of a trauma, I thought that with time I would feel better but at the bus stop I still fely like that, casually a dog was walking next to me and he stopped to smell me, I petted hi m for a few minutes and after that I felt way better))

    These info videos have helped me MORE than you could EVER know ♡
    Thanks so much for posting them.
    I have suffered with severe anxiety, PTSD, MDD, addiction, BPD and sometimes I feel so so lost and unworthy of love or friendship. I feel like my relationships always start out so so great but about one year into the relationship they start to pull away because of some of my actions like social anxiety and FOA, overthinking things like just going to the store, worrying excessively and always being so so tired. I swear I could sleep my days away but then feel awful for doing it. I just wish the people closest to me could understand just how hard day to day activities can be foe me. They start to think my mental illness is just an excuse for not doing certain things etc. I could go on and on.
    Please keep posting it really helps. 🙏 ♡

    Breathing exercises involving counting give me more anxiety bc I overanalyze it and they feel unnatural, lol. I find the most effective way to breathe is by focusing on just sighing. That gives you a good, natural, and effective rhythm.

    After being in the hospital this year for depression and anxiety, I learned to count and it’s very helpful. Sometimes I just start counting if I can’t sit still and look at something, cuz usually mine is happening when I’m in the middle of doing things, like trying to get to work or be around a client.
