3. Breathe Deep

Now this takes almost no time at all, after all, you are already breathing all day long, so why not make the most of it?  Slow, deep breathing lowers blood pressure, goes a long way towards reliving stress and anxiety, not to mention pain, and even the symptoms of asthma.

When you are angry, or deeply focused on something, or very stressed you tend to hold your breath or breathe very, very shallowly.

Deep breathing releases stress and, believe it or not, bring a calming effect to your entire body. So take 2 or 3 minutes and do some deep breathing exercises for better health!
