What are some effective exercises to reduce anxiety at home?

There are several exercises you can try at home to help reduce anxiety. Would you like to focus on physical exercises, breathing techniques, or mindfulness practices?

I think breathing techniques would be great!

Great choice! One effective technique is the 4-7-8 breathing method. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds. Would you like to try it together?

Yes, let's do it!

Okay, let's start. Inhale deeply through your nose for 4 seconds... 1, 2, 3, 4. Now hold your breath for 7 seconds... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Now exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. How do you feel?

I feel a bit more relaxed, thank you!
