breathe deeply
Take calming breaths
To breathe deeply is to draw air fully into the lungs, expanding the diaphragm rather than taking shallow chest breaths.
The phrase often appears in contexts of relaxation, meditation, or managing stress: Breathe deeply and count to ten.
It's standard advice for calming anxiety or centering oneself before a challenging moment.
