Another deep breathing strategy is known as “smell the pizza.” To practice this technique, “pretend like you’re smelling a delicious piece of pizza by breathing in deeply and slowly through your nose,” Amy Morin, LCSW, tells Parade. “Hold for a count of three. Then, breathe out of your mouth with pursed lips as if you’re cooling the pizza down. Doing the exercise three times will calm your brain and your body.”
