When you're in the midst of an anxiety attack or dealing with a high-stress situation, it can feel impossible to calm down. And though it may be difficult in the moment, focusing on mindfulness and breathing can be a highly effective tool to help you combat anxiety, depression, and stress.

Deep breathing is a great tool for anyone suffering from minor or severe stress and anxiety because it can help slow your heart rate, refocus your mind, and bring you to a calmer state after a panic attack. But even if you know you should try deep breathing, it can be difficult to practice breathing exercises on your own. Watching videos and listening to instructions for a deep breathing exercise makes it easier, and now, you can calm your nerves with these quick breathing exercises on TikTok.
