Breathing 101
Do breathing exercises. Try taking slow, deep, regular breaths, and extend each exhalation to squeeze out more air.

  1. Sit up straight in a chair. Place the tip of your tongue near your upper teeth and keep it in that position throughout the exercise.
  2. Exhale through your mouth.
  3. Now close your mouth and breathe in through your nose to the count of three.
  4. Hold your breath easily to the count of six and exhale through your mouth to the count of six (or longer if you can).

Don't repeat more than three times a session for at least a few weeks. Over time you can work up to the count of eight. Try to practice at least once a day. It really will help you relax. There are very good Yoga tapes available also to teach you this method.
