Short, shallow breaths activates our 'fight or flight' response but slow, deep breathing helps switch the body into relaxation mode.🌬️
We've added more breathing exercises to our Stay Alive app. Take a mindful moment to focus on your breathing.❤️

ALT Text reads 'How do breathing exercises work?' 'When we’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, our breaths can be short and shallow, which activates our sympathetic nervous system controlling our "fight or flight" response. Slow, deep breathing actually stimulates the opposing parasympathetic reaction - the one that calms us down and helps us relax by activating the “rest and digest” system.'
