deep breathing
Slow, full breaths
Deep breathing is a deliberate practice of taking slow, full breaths that engage the diaphragm rather than shallow chest breathing.
It's commonly used as a relaxation technique to reduce stress, lower heart rate, and calm anxiety.
Take some deep breaths before you go on stage.
The practice appears in meditation, yoga, and various therapeutic contexts, and doctors often recommend it for managing panic attacks or preparing for medical procedures.
