exhale.
One of the best ways to bring yourself back down to earth is to lengthen your exhalations. This form of breathing encourages the nervous system to become calm and quiet, moving the body into a more restful state of being.

Sometimes when the world sends us spinning, we want to do nothing more than drop everything and stare into space. But this approach often gives the brain free rein to continue its obsessive and agitated thinking.
