Breathing pattern dysfunction can make something as simple as breathing feel complicated—but small, intentional steps can help you regain control. Here’s a simple way to practice better breathing: 5 Steps to Better Breathing: \t1.\tKeep your upper chest still 🫁 – focus on moving your belly, not your shoulders. \t2.\tBreathe quietly 🤫 – no gasping, no noisy breaths; just smooth, gentle inhalations and exhalations. \t3.\tInhale through your nose 👃 – this naturally slows and filters your breath.
