deep breaths
Slow, full inhales
Deep breaths are slow, full inhalations that expand the lungs completely, often taken deliberately to calm nerves or steady oneself.
The phrase commonly appears as advice or self-direction: Take a few deep breaths before you go on stage.
Someone taking deep breaths is usually preparing for something difficult or trying to regain composure.
