Written by: Linda Dec 06, 2016. This article is about how to cope with stress and anxiety as a woman. It discusses the different effects of stress and what steps women should take to avoid such conditions during times of particular vulnerability- such as when pregnant or experiencing menstrual cramps. How to deal with stress and anxiety as a female is vital for surviving the day-to-day grind. I notice that women are constantly under immense amounts of stress and emotional turmoil which can be quite unhealthy. I’ve also noticed that women tend to suffer more than men, especially during the stressful times of their lives. While this might not be surprising, it can still be awful to witness. Here are 8 ways to cope with stress and anxiety as a female... Use Your Breathing Patterns To Combat Stress We know you’ve probably heard this already, too! But it’s so important that we say it again. The air our lungs inhale contains oxygen, the lifeblood of the body. This process of breathing in and out is essential for survival and cannot be neglected. According to the American Heart Association, poor breathing techniques may also cause physical and psychological effects such as depression, headaches, and anxiety. Practicing proper breathing techniques can help you to evade these negative side effects and live a much healthier lifestyle in the process. The following exercises will teach you how to breathe properly--something that could possibly save your life! The 4-4-6 Breathing Pattern: Inhale for four seconds through your nose while counting out loud until the number six. Now hold this breath for four seconds longer while still counting until you reach six again. Next, breathe out through your mouth for six seconds and count to four before holding it for another four. Finally, exhale for four seconds and complete the cycle with a final exhalation. The 8-8-8 Breathing Pattern: With your eyes closed, inhale and count to eight with each breath. Next, hold the air in your lungs until you reach eight and then slowly exhale through your mouth with a total of eight breaths. This is very similar to the 4-4-6 exercise except that you’ll only be holding yourself for two seconds after each breath instead of four. Tips for Better Breathing: For women who have a hard time breathing or simply wish to improve upon their breathing techniques, try some of these tips... Start small. For example, you won’t be able to do the 8-8-8 exercise with your eyes closed right away. You can start with four breaths and gradually work your way up to the full sequence. If you prefer a visual aid, try a simple visualization exercise that will help with proper breathing techniques! Visualize yourself sitting comfortably in a chair and take deep cleansing breaths in through your nose while exhaling through your mouth. cfa1e77820
