Relaxed Breathing Record Form

Relaxed breathing (also known as ‘diaphragmatic breathing’ or ‘deep belly breathing’) involves taking slower, deeper, and more relaxed breaths from deep within your diaphragm. It can reduce the effects of stress, tension, and anxiety, helping you feel calmer and more relaxed.

Regular practice will help get most from relaxed breathing. Complete this Relaxed Breathing Record Form whenever you practice relaxed breathing to keep track of your progress.

Overview

The Relaxed Breathing Record Form is designed to complement the relaxed breathing instruction worksheet. It serves as a practical tool for therapists and their clients, providing a structured method to track the effects of diaphragmatic breathing on anxiety. Clients are encouraged to note their subjective anxiety levels before and after practice, offering visible insights into their progress.
