the alternating nostril breathing has been SO helpful for me thank you! i just did it today on my break at work when it was all getting too overwhelming and it really helped me slow down, even made me feel a bit sleepy

Alternate nostril breathing is so grounding and calming! Perfect for times of overwhelm!

Tips for you, hope they help! -drink plenty of water -do something you love -cry -breathe -call a relative or friend

Nice tips. Thanks . One more I add, listen to favorite song.

[@HealthAnxietycoach]

Thanks for making this video, Meghan! I'm a HUGE fan of deep breathing. During my 60-day health anxiety recovery I discovered the power of not only deep breathing exercises, but also an overall greater mindfulness of my breathing patterns - at times when I'm feeling anxious, or not! To overcome anxiety it's key that you not try AVOID or RUN AWAY FROM uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, sensations and situations - lest you validate the fear in your subconscious mind, empower the anxiety, unwittingly ensuring it comes back, stronger and more frequently than ever. So, I made sure to practice deep breathing ALL THE TIME. Eventually, I improved my breathing skills (yup, breathing is a skill!) to the point where I was breathing more deeply ALL THE TIME, reducing my baseline level of anxiety, while raising my ability to respond to acutely challenging situations when they arise.

[@istarzgirl]

Thank you so much. I've been going through the worst days for the past 3 days just questioning everything due to the difficulty of college. I've been feeling so overwhelmed and stressed to the point where it has affected my sleep, my eating, and prevented me from enjoying what I'm learning (I love to learn). I really appreciate this. I'm definitely just going to take the time everyday and do this and some meditation. Thank you :)

[@declanbrowne4622]

As a person who would have dismissed this concept as mumbo jumbo a few years ago and I now have given it the due respect it deserves. And I have found this video very informative as well as instructive, thank you for making it so clear.

[@mtoffel1]

These are great! I find that when I'm having panic/anxiety what calms my racing heart most is to inhale for 5 sec, HOLD for 5 sec, and then breath out for about 8 sec. The holding really seems to force me to focus on that and not on anything else and the forced longer exhale does wonders for slowing my heart from pounding. Love all your videos Meghan!

[@meghanlivingstone]

+Auntie M Holding is so helpful too! And I agree, I definitely find longer exhales make me much more calm. Xoxo

[@yashgaikwad3669]

Why everyone complaining about the talk. She did a perfect video. Actually for me her voice and accent is Claming and relaxing.

[@Basic541]

many people who are coming to this video having an axiety attack. we really don't want to have to wait for relief nor do we want long drawn out reasons why breathing exersizes are helpful, we know they're helpful. that's why we're here. we literally just want the exersizes and nothing else because we are in panic. it's extremely frustraiting.

[@justanothernerdydude4391]

@@Basic541 This video is clearly not for, "IM HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" it's for "I know I am prone to anxiety attacks so im going to educate myself how to deal with them."

Thank you very much for your video. I have been having constant panic attacks, shakes and shortness of breath and just watching your video really helps me. I have been watching this for the past 2 nights in a row now, I find you very relaxing. I will continue to watch this whenever I'm feeling anxious. I love your positive attitude in all your videos. :)

[@danpartridge8584]

Just noticed this comment and realized nobody reached out...how are you doing now? Did you get a handle on the anxiety?

[@KEBinAZ]

I got worked up tonight over something, I have pretty bad anxiety. I have good days and bad days and I'm on medication but sometimes it flares up bad. Sometimes it feels that I can't breathe, even though my breathing is good. I get so wound up. It took a few times to try a couple of these exercises but I actually feel a little bit better thank you

[@MsBroadway209]

I’ve been having a couple attacks since October thinking it was just my blood sugar. After going to the doctors and getting every test under the sun it was determined that I’m actually having panic attacks. Apparently my aunt went through the same thing when she was my age. As much as that sucks, it’s nice to see that there are plenty of videos online and a community to help you get through it. I’ve never encountered something so scary, so I’m glad to know I’m not alone in this

[@babylife1711]

Taking a pause to do 3 deep breaths like this always re-centers me and calms me down. Thanks for this.

[@holosomab5916]

I like the way she speaks. I breathe deeply and pay attention to my breathing a few minutes at a time and for several times a day. It helps with my anxiety and it calms me down. It also has helped me with sleep.

[@philipdonegan9716]

I read, and it seems to apply to me, that the body shuts down one nostril at a time. So at any one time, one nostril always feels blocked and only works by being helped open. Lovely video

I love all of these breathing techniques! They are so helpful on days when I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

[@VladTheProfit]

Deep breathing is so beneficial for your mental health. It is even a form of mediation. I made a video talking about this actually. With a calm mind and less stress your body naturally gears itself for success, fights off diseases and you begin to feel a better sense of well being. Such a good thing to do, recommend it daily!

[@chrisgilford2399]

Totally agree Vlad!

[@shellyshel2152]

On my way to a stressful job and decided to do some breathing techniques. I’ve never tried the switching nostrils one, but I do like that one the best it seems like that one provided me with the most stress relief. Thank you for this tip.

I suffer from depression and anxiety / panic and recently I went ahead a checked my mineral and vitamin levels hoping that has been the problem all along... and they are fine. My kidneys are good as well. I do admit I should be drinking more water though. And I have read about the benefits of Himalayan salt and I'm sure this would be helpful for general health and a sense of well-being... worth giving this a try . and also try home remedies at #live a little longer. It will surely help you. you will feel much better

[@slasaus1]

90% doesnt know who to breathe properly so i would say the best breathing technique is concentrating on ur diaphram musscle pulling it up and down (belly goes out and in while relaxing ur shoulders) really fast for one minute... in the beginning u will most likely got problems here and there, so belly going in while ur breathing in or the other way around... dont judge urself just take a sec and finish the exercise. After a while u will get the hang of it. namaste

[@meg3839]

I've been doing this for a few months and love it. I've been trying to manage my chronic stress and its effects on my health for a while and find this to be highly effective, along with Feng Fu ice treatments (oddly enough!), magnesium, gentle yoga/meditation, dry body brushing and lemon water--though not sure why the last two help lol.

[@jonesvaughn8946]

[@laurabello8176]

This is very useful. The problem with the talking is most people need to know how to breathe ASAP because most of us are having an anxiety/panic attack, so all the talk is frustrating when you need to know something in an emergency.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Totally understandable. My apologies! I hope you were able to jump straight to the techniques with the time slots listed!

This is really helpful in managing stress levels. I personally do breathwork when I am in a lot of stress and feeling anxious

Sophia Selitsky im the same way girl, just have faith

[@RedVelvetyJess]

I've been the same way since I was eleven years old, and the best thing to do is find a therapist who specializes in anxiety and/or trauma. There are certains types of therapy such as EMDR (the kind I've started) that help your brain process anxiety without inducing panic and teaching you to control it. If that isn't for you, I also find going to forums like reddit where people list their own experiences and advice helpful. Best of luck

I love your 3 breathing techniques. I have only been using the 4-7-8 technique up till now. This gives choice of what works for each person. I will be sharing with my community page "The We Team of TBI Survivors" on Facebook as I am a Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor and we brain injury survivors often have horrific issues with stress & anxiety disorder post brain injury (the cortisol our brain floods us with reeks havoc with us on a constant basis) . This will help many, I'm so sure! Bless You!

[@meghanlivingstone]

Oh my goodness! Well I'm so happy these can help you. I had a bad concussion with resulting seizures a few years ago and it created severe anxiety and depression in the subsequent months. Thanks for watching xoxo

[@jenniferstokley3112]

FYI ... a concussion IS a Traumatic Brain Injury. If it doesn't resolve in the 4-6 weeks like doctors hope, what your dealing with is Post Concussion Syndrome. This can last for months, even years or ongoing! Anxiety & Depression are one of the most common issues we deal with, besides Short Term Memory Issues. Also, seizures are so common post TBI. I myself deal with Grand Mal ones, and have to take medication to keep them in control. Also, Insomnia is a Huge Issue for so many! My prayers are with you always!!!

[@meghanlivingstone]

Jeez. I had no idea at the time that I was dealing with PCS, although it makes a lot of sense. It took over a year for my symptoms to fade. Sending you big hugs!

[@jenniferstokley3112]

Yes, PCS. I pray it has passed now. Please watch for symptoms. Your anxiety if you still have it or depression, your seizures etc if still messing with you are all signs of PCS (if you never had them prior to your TBI)

Hi Meghan! I love this video so much, and I want to make sure everyone can understand it and use it to help themselves! That's why I wanted to let you know that your captions are a little off. At about 1:09, the auto-captions say "tool to use if your feelings just out" where they meant to say "Incredible tool to use if you're feeling stressed out." When you get a chance, could you fix that? That'll help the 360 million folks globally who rely on closed captions to understand videos. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

Useful video. For overthinking problem be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing your life with others, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Your breathing is related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath sensations at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. You can sit or lay down on the bed--eyes closed--No deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. With practice the mind will relax. Never meditate with expectations but with self-awareness. Observe your breath anywhere -anytime-- before sleep, at work, when travelling, taking a walk, etc with eyes open or closed. Like me make breath observing a lifetime habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.

I get this weird breathing situation when I’m really conscious of myself when everyone can hear you breathe when it’s really quiet, my breath is sitting really high and my breathing becomes more forced as I’m panicking even more because I think people will think something. When I’m comfortable this sounds dumb but right now I’m in one of those situations and it’s really hard to get out of it, when you (in my mind) cannot sigh really deep or something because then, you know, people think things.

Love the background music! What song is that?

I like 4-5-7 breathing. In for 4 counts, hold for 5, out for 7. I do like all these you mentioned. Also, during labor, I naturally gravitated to a ha-ha-ha-haaaaaa exhale. Very empowering and calming.
