True or false: Some breathing strategies can increase your heart rate and intensity of emotion rather than calming you down.
TRUE
If your inhale is quick and shallow, this will increase your heart rate and can make your emotions more intense. If you are feeling low energy, this can be helpful. If you are high energy/upset, this naturally happens to your breathing. Imagine what happens when you’re crying really hard. You likely have short, quick inhales between sobs. When you slow down your breathing, especially with a nice slow exhale, a message is sent to your brain that you are OKAY, and you can handle this.
