Try your breahting slowly and deeply!

When feeling pressured, your breathing becomes automatically shallow and rapidly.
This means the stress puts your body in a situation of “fight or flight”.

This stage is that the sympathetic nerve in the autonomic nervous system secretes adrenaline, which works the muscle to spend energy and suppresses working of the digestion. So keeping this situation for a long time results in damaging your body and mind.

On the other hand, when uneasiness is lost, the emergency warning is released, and para-systematic nerve works to return a former state or relax without tension.

When feeling pressured, try your breathing slowly and deeply, and the span of the exhale is double to the inhale. Because exhale is controlled by para-systematic nerve.
