Take Deep BreathsTaking conscious control of our breathing and regulating our breaths is one of the most powerful tools we have to feel calm. When done well it can help our muscles to relax and gives us time for our thinking brain to catch up when emotionally hijacked. This helps us to respond in an emotionally appropriate way, even in a difficult or challenging situation.
