article: Many people who suffer from overthinking and cognitive distortions find relaxation techniques to be helpful in breaking out of harmful thought patterns. Relaxation techniques can also have physical benefits, like lowering your heart rate and blood pressure, slowing down your breathing rate, and reducing the activity of stress hormones in your body. There are numerous types of relaxation techniques, including:  Autogenic relaxation - repeat words or suggestions to yourself internally to help you relax. You might imagine a tranquil environment and then repeat positive affirmations, or simply focus on your breathing.  Progressive muscle relaxation - focus on tensing, holding, and then relaxing each major muscle group in your body. Start at the head with your facial muscles and work your way down to your toes (or vice versa), tensing and holding each muscle group for five to ten seconds before releasing the muscles' tension into relaxation.  Visualization - let your imagination form calming mental images, and visualize a serene place or situation.  Mindful breathing - place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. While sitting, lying, or standing (whichever is most comfortable and convenient), take slow, deep breaths in, forcing the air into your abdomen instead of just your chest. You should feel your belly expand outward as you inhale. Hold the breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly until all of the previous breath is gone. Repeat as many times as needed until you begin to feel calm. Meditation - similar to mindful breathing, meditation focuses on the slow, deep inhalation and exhalation of breath coupled with an element of meditative mindfulness. That may mean reciting a mantra (a word or phrase that helps you remain calm/focused) or focusing your attention on physical sensations, such as the feeling of sitting where you are, or the sensation of breathing in and out through your nostrils. If you find yourself constantly doubting yourself or overanalyzing situations, you may need to find a more active way to break out of that thought pattern. Try distracting yourself with a positive, healthy alternative. For example, you can try meditating to ground yourself in the present moment. Or, if you enjoy crafts, try taking up knitting or sewing to occupy your mind whenever overthinking thought patterns take over. If you play an instrument, pick it up and play for a bit. Find what comforts you and grounds you in the present moment, and use that activity as often as you need to. Writing is a very effective way of processing your thoughts, analyzing patterns of thinking, and finding ways to move past those thoughts. One writing exercise that many people find helpful is to take 10 minutes to explore the nature of your overthinking thought patterns in writing.  Set a timer for 10 minutes.  In that time, write as much about your thoughts as you can. Explore the people, situations, or time spans that you associate with those thoughts, and whether those thoughts have any bearing on who you were, who you currently are, or who you hope to be in your life.  Read through your writings when the time is up and look for patterns of thinking. Ask yourself, "Have these thought patterns influenced how I see myself, my relationships, or the world around me? If so, has that influence been a positive or negative one?" You may also find it helpful to ask yourself, "Have these thought patterns ever really helped me? Or have the number of missed opportunities and sleepless nights outnumbered the occasional time I was right?" Many people who overthink things avoid going out or having interactions out of fear that something may happen. Even if you're not yet able to break out of those thought patterns, it's important that you don't let your overthinking dictate your decisions. If there's something you want to go to (for example, a concert or a party), stop finding reasons not to go and force yourself out the door. Otherwise your overthinking will prevent you from doing anything, and you'll almost certainly regret it.  Tell yourself that the regret you'd feel over missing out would be stronger than the regret over having a less-than-perfect time.  Think of all the times you took a risk at trying something new and it paid off. Then think about all the times that staying home or being afraid of trying new things has gained you anything. You'll quickly see that taking that risk of failure was valuable because it led to good things.  Remind yourself that you can always leave early if you aren't having a good time. The important thing is to go and see whether or not you can end up having a fun and meaningful experience.

article: If your shortness of breath may be caused by a health issue, then you should make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor can determine the underlying cause of your shortness of breath and prescribe the best treatment. Depending on the cause, they may help you develop a treatment plan that includes lifestyle changes to help you better manage or alleviate your breathing issues.  Symptoms that may mean your shortness of breath is related to a health issue include swollen ankles or feet, trouble breathing while you're lying down, chills, fever, cough, and wheezing. You should see the doctor immediately if your shortness of breath comes on suddenly or affects your ability to live. Additionally, you should call emergency services if you also have chest pain, nausea, or fainting, as this could mean you are having a heart attack or a pulmonary embolism. If your shortness of breath comes on suddenly, then it is considered to be acute. These conditions require immediate medical attention. Your doctor will prescribe a treatment to address the cause, which in some cases will alleviate your shortness of breath. With conditions like asthma, however, you will need to manage your symptoms after the attack has subsided. Possible causes include:  Asthma Carbon monoxide poisoning Excess fluid around your heart (cardiac tamponade) Hiatal hernia Heart failure  Low blood pressure (hypotension)  Pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs)  Pneumothorax (collapsed lung) Pneumonia Sudden blood loss Upper airway obstruction Chronic shortness of breath is an ongoing condition, which may worsen over time. If you have chronic shortness of breath, you can take steps to avoid recurrences of the condition, though you may never be free of it completely. Your doctor can help you develop a treatment plan to help manage your illness. Causes of chronic shortness of breath include the following:  Asthma  COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) Deconditioning Heart dysfunction Interstitial lung disease Obesity Anxiety and stress can both lead to shortness of breath, especially if you are prone to panic attacks. Learning better coping mechanisms can help you relieve this tension in your chest and breathe more easily. If you’re having trouble controlling your stress or anxiety, you may want to talk to a counselor or therapist.  Try stress relieving activities like yoga, meditation, and walking in nature. Express yourself creatively. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, minimizing caffeine, alcohol, and sugars. Get plenty of rest. Talk out your problems with someone you trust. After your doctor diagnoses the cause of your shortness of breath, they can help you manage your condition. Some people may be able to eliminate their shortness of breath, while others can limit its recurrence. Your management plan may include treatments and lifestyle changes. Your doctor may prescribe medication, an inhaler, or an oxygen machine to help you manage your condition. Your treatment will depend on the underlying cause for your condition.  For example, shortness of breath brought on by anxiety can be treated with anxiety medication. Asthma and COPD may be treated with an inhaler.  Allergies can be treated with medications like anti-histamines. If your lungs are not able to take in enough oxygen, then you may be given oxygen treatments. For example, someone with severe COPD may have trouble breathing and require oxygen treatments.

This has been "deprecated", which means it works but is no longer in use or recommended. This is because HTML is not designed to style content. The <u> tag will still work, but is now supposed to represent text that is different than the other text, such as misspelled words or Chinese proper nouns. There is virtually no case where you should be using this method anymore. It can be good to know how it was used in case you have to update an old website.   <html> <body> The old underline tag in HTML <u>allowed you to underline  things quickly</u>, but it made things a mess when other  style elements got involved. This is why modern underlining  is accomplished using the "text-decoration" CSS element.  </body> </html>
