Do you ever pay attention to how you breathe?

At times it may seem like we have no control over the way our nervous system functions. Experiencing something like anxiety can feel really helpless. We do have the capability to make changes, however, by beginning to master our breathing. In this sense, the breath is a door to our nervous system. By adjusting the pace of our inhale and exhale, in addition to the depth of our breath, we can directly affect our heart rate and ultimately our state of relaxation.
