The human stress and threat systems often react similarly to actual dangers and less severe threats, causing anxiety responses that can be managed. To reduce anxiety, one can employ various techniques. Exercise is a powerful method; even a brief 10-minute walk can effectively lower anxiety and depression. Additionally, breath meditation, which involves deep breathing, is a fundamental approach to calming the body. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress by slowing the heart and respiration rates. Everyone possesses this system and can activate it through simple deep breathing exercises, enabling immediate relief from stress. This method has been recognized for centuries, illustrating its efficacy in managing anxiety.
