Breathe with the circle

About calm breath
Breathing out for longer than you breathe in slows the heart and tells your nervous system it is safe. A few minutes is enough to take the edge off anxiety.
If you feel dizzy or uncomfortable, stop and breathe normally. Breathing exercises are safe for most people.
