Breathing

Patient was instructed on relaxing sight. Sighing and yawning during the day are signs that you are not getting enough oxygen. A sigh releases a bit of tension and can be practiced at will as a means of relaxing. Sit or stand up straight. Sigh deeply, letting out a sound of deep relief as the air rushes out of your lungs. Let new air come in naturally.
