      Your body has a natural calming system called the parasympathetic nervous system. Its job is to return you to a state of relaxation after stress. One of the fastest ways to activate it is through slow breathing.

      Try this: Breathe in slowly for 4 seconds. Hold for 4 seconds. Exhale slowly for 6 seconds. Repeat for one minute. This simple practice sends a signal to your brain that you are safe.
