The first thing for anyone trying to navigate stress is to understand what kind of stress they're dealing with. It's very important that people take control of their mind and their body in a way that allows themselves to calm down, says MVs. As you inhale, you're sending a neural signal to your heart to speed up. And when you exhale, the diaphragm moves up. The heart gets a little bit smaller, literally because there's less space there.
