But yes, I tell myself to relax frequently. Sometimes are better than others.

Hi Sabrina,
I can relate. I am already a slow, low key person (even when anxious lol) when I do "relaxing" yoga or meditate I mostly get dizzy and cranky.
I know I need to focus more on my breathing, though. When I sit and concentrate on something, like knitting or painting I find my breathing gets really shallow and I have to remind myself to breathe. A few years ago I went a whole month where I was good about reminding myself to take very deep breaths whenever I remembered (like every half hour or so). I really think I felt a difference. Then I let the practice go. I should do that again...
