Square breathing<\/strong> is a simple yet effective technique where you close your eyes, and imagine a big square.<\/p>\n Set your mind at one corner, then breathe in and count to three whilst you travel across to the next corner, then pause for three there, then exhale and count for three as you travel to the next corner.<\/p>\n You simply keep repeating this to regulate your breathing and feel more relaxed.<\/p>\n Belly breathing<\/strong> is another technique that can be useful in many ways. Anxiety can cause tight shoulders and we breathe in a shallow way, which can cause us to breathe faster.<\/p>\n With belly breathing, you push your shoulders down, try to relax them, and then focus your breath deep down into the belly so it expands; then when you breathe out you imagine someone pushing on your belly to get all the air out.<\/p>\n Breathe in for 5, hold for 5 and then breathe out for 5 is usually a good place to start, as well as trying it lying on your back with your hand on your belly at least for the first few times.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.8.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_text_color=”#747d88″ text_line_height=”1.9em” header_font=”Montserrat|700||on|||||” header_text_color=”#4E336B” header_font_size=”42px” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#4E336B” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_font=”||||||||” header_3_font_size=”24px” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_slide=”4%” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Subtitle” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#747d88″ text_line_height=”1.4em” header_font=”||||||||” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|||” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_delay=”100ms” animation_intensity_slide=”4%” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n There are free hypnosis sessions for helping overcome dental anxiety on-line and some people find that they really do help.<\/p>\n Just remember you need to give it time to work, so don\u2019t try listening and watching the night before your appointment when you are less likely to focus. \u00a0Try some of these sessions well in advance of your appointment date.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_text_color=”#747d88″ text_line_height=”1.9em” header_font=”Montserrat|700||on|||||” header_text_color=”#4E336B” header_font_size=”42px” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#4E336B” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_font=”||||||||” header_3_font_size=”24px” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_slide=”4%” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Subtitle” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#747d88″ text_line_height=”1.4em” header_font=”||||||||” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|||” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_delay=”100ms” animation_intensity_slide=”4%” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Mantras work when you repeat them over and over again every day and put the effort into believing them.
