I'm in pre reg in er and conworkers are telling me to relax and it pisses me off

A friend sent me this after they've noticed I kept getting very stressed and anxious pretty much daily (even though it's already gotten better over the past few months). I just tried it out for the first time and I feel so much safer and calmer already. I literally started yawning around 3min into the guided breathing because I felt the anxiety leaving my body. Thank you ❤

@@dave-ng1kk I am so glad this continues to be helpful for you! This is a variation of an elongated exhale breath pattern. When we practice making our exhale twice as long as our inhale, this stimulates our vagus nerve which activates our body's calming system. The pause, in between the inhale and exhale helps to send calming signals to our brain as well.

I might watch this a few times a day, as my anxiety over the last couple of months, especially as of recently has been higher than normal. I'm trying to get over the trauma of some marijuana induced panic attacks that I had in August and October that is causing me to focus on the possibility of having more panic attacks out of nowhere. Even writing this comment is making me feel more anxious again because I have to focus on what I'm writing. Thank you for making this video.

@the.mindful_therapist

3 ай бұрын

Thank you for this question! This style of breathing pattern is designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. The actions of pausing the breath and making the exhale longer than the inhale both work together to stimulate the vagus nerve while moving the body into a calm, parasympathetic state.

wtf just happened? I feel calm. I FEEL NORMAL GUYS OMGGGGG

Idk if it’s just me but I didn’t like breathing in for 4 and breathing out for 8. I felt like I was pressured to breathe in enough to be able to breathe out enough to reach 8. It took me out of it.

@the.mindful_therapist

3 ай бұрын

I appreciate you sharing your experience! It is common for these types of breathing patterns to feel a bit challenging at first, especially when feeling anxious. You may find with additional practice that it feels less pressured. However, please know that even just attempting to make the exhale longer than your inhale (with shorter counts if that feels better) that this style will still be beneficial. For instance, breathing to the count of 2 or 3 and out to the count of 4 or 6. I hope this helps!

This is great great music except the counting over and over is a bit much
