When things get rough, take deep breaths in through your nose; hold it for 10 seconds, then release. You'll notice that this will relieve tension.
Controlled Breathing Technique:
• This rapid relaxation technique involves breathing in and out 9 times in 3 series of 3 breaths.
• In the 1st series of 3 breaths, inhale deeply and, as you exhale slowly, say quietly or think to yourself, "Calm body." Repeat 3 times.
• In the 2nd series of 3 breaths, inhale deeply and, as you exhale, say quietly or think to yourself, "Calm mind."
• In the final series of 3 breaths, inhale deeply and, as you exhale, say (and do) "Smile."
