How to Breathe?
The parasympathetic nerve system, generally known as the "rest and digest" system, is activated by slow breathing. Deep breathing also activates the vagus nerve, which controls mood, digestion, and heart rate as part of the parasympathetic nervous system. Before you begin a deep breathing exercise, take a minute to check in with yourself to see how you are feeling, and then compare that to how you are feeling afterward.
