Clinical psychologist Gabi Goodier from Australia reveals that with the help of this simple breathing technique in just a few minutes you will get rid of the terrible anxiety and you will calm down. Namely, this exercise, which she calls "straw breathing", has become a daily routine that includes inhaling through the nose and then exhaling through a straw, reports "Index".

"The key part of this technique is that your exhalation is longer than the inhalation, so you actually activate the part of the brain that will calm your nervous system, helping it find the much-needed 'button' to calm it down," she said.

A method of breathing that can help you get through difficult times

"Sometimes I have days when my emotional 'buttons' seem to be pressed a little more than usual, when my tolerance range decreases and my ability to calm down seems more fragile," Goodier said.

There is probably no person who has not faced a rather stressful situation that seems to block the brain and the whole body. But do not worry. Although in those moments you feel helpless, this technique works and can help you.

For starters, Goodyear recommends practicing outdoor breathing techniques.

"The thing is, if you use this method at a time when you have the hardest time and have never tried it before, it is unlikely to be successful. "So, it would be good to start exercising in moments when you are calm," she said.

To begin, sit down and inhale normally and naturally through your nose. You need to exhale completely through your mouth with "clenched lips like breathing through a straw" or simply use a drinking straw. Repeat five times in a row, and it is ideal to do this twice a day.
