This one is absolutely key! Do it whenever you remember. Find tons more practical solutions for overcoming anxiety in my book Ten Times Calmer (link in bio). 

Anxiety is often associated with the sympathetic nervous system’s fight-flight response, characterised by increased heart rate and shallow breathing. When you extend your exhale, you activates your body’s parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the rest-and-digest system. This activation leads to a decrease in heart rate, lowered blood pressure, and an overall sense of calm. This type of breathing encourages your body to shift from a heightened state of alertness to a more relaxed one, bringing relief from anxiety-related symptoms.
