Slow Exhales
Taking deep inhales and long, slow exhales calm your nervous system and transitions the body and mind into a more relaxed state. Which also slows your heart rate and blood pressure.
2. Block Breathing

3. Alternate Nostril Breathing
Place your pointer and middle finger in the middle of your forehead, placing your ring and pointer finger on each nostril.
Block off one nostril with your thumb or pointer finger and inhale.
Block off and open the opposite nostril and exhale.
Inhale through same nostril.
Repeat
Alternate nostril breathing also balances your nervous system and lower stress. It slows your heartbeat, blood pressure, and improves breathing.
