Slowing down your breath rate will reduce your stress level

Through breathing you can influence your autonomic nervous system and thus also your stress level.

When we're stressed, our breath is usually fast and shallow. If you reduce your breathing rate (breaths per minute), you can also reduce how you experience stress.
