Are you looking for ways to help your youth feel less anxious? Teaching breathing exercises can help anyone learn to calm themselves when they feel anxious or need to refocus. Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. Try this breathing exercise! Breathe in while the circle moves up, hold your breath, and exhale while the circle moves down.
