npub19fcv2nflra09c6p9xz8c8detwj6uy07u4z4m25qh836mnvxtatdq6aay3c (npub19fc…ay3c) as i understand it, there's a feed back loop between anxiety, heart rate, and breath rate. anxiety increases your heart rate which requires you to breath faster. and those 2 trigger the threat response that increases anxiety.

so doing breathing exercise reduces breath and heart rate making you think you're calmer, so your brain starts reducing stress hormones
