Does taking deep breaths, really help calm a person down ?

I do them when I have anxiety, but to be honest with you, it kind of hurts LOL especially when I'm following like a guided meditation on my phone, they'll be like "Now exhale innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn" and I'm just like God damn when do we stop LOL I can't breathe

My ADHD makes it difficult to do the guided meditation thing. I've been listening to this track in my car before I go into work some days to help center myself before heading in.

Thank you so much for sharing that! I'm definitely going to dig into this!

You're very welcome, always happy to help! I tried for a while and eventually it kind of stuck. For me, simply doing something without weighing it as "correct" helped form the habit. I've also been on a weird esoteric kick lately and it all kind of jives lol

Sometimes I switch up the track for this one with Ram Dass; the mental image it provides is helpful.
