Mental Illness Recovery
Abdominal Breathing-
Place a hand on your stomach above your naval and one on your chest. Breathe in slowly. You should feel your stomach expand and push out. Breath out and repeat.
Four, Seven, Eight Breathing-
Breathe in for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. Repeat this until your breathing slows.
Co2 Breathing-
Cup your hands over your mouth and slowly breathe in. Breathe in and out like this- it’s supposed to help you normalize your carbon dioxide levels when your Co2 levels are low (because you’re breathing in too much oxygen).
Counting-
Breathe in slowly, say "one", and breathe out. Repeat until you get to ten or you feel better.
Deep Breathing Exercises-
Sit with your back straight. Take a deep breath in through your nose for about six seconds. old it for a few seconds and let it out through your mouth for six or seven seconds. Repeat ten times or as needed.
