@drjoe_md: A simple technique to calm anxiety involves intentionally yawning, which helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, often called the “rest and digest” system. Yawning naturally relaxes the jaw, improves oxygen flow, and helps shift the body out of “fight or flight” mode, lowering stress levels. You can make yourself yawn by this technique or sometimes byrepeatedly saying the word “leather,” which positions the mouth in a way that can stimulate yawning. This quick and easy practice can be especially helpful in moments of heightened anxiety, promoting a sense of calm by signaling the body to relax. #anxiety #stresslevel #calmingdown #healthtips #MentalHealth @Jo Michelle🩵
