Focus on Exhale
If you find yourself in a place where it's difficult to take a full breath because of thinking or stress, focus on releasing a nice, long exhale. As you get to the end of the exhale, softly push out a little more breath with the intercostal and abdominal muscles till your lungs feel fairly empty.
This creates a nice vacuum in the lungs that automatically sucks in more air and allows for a wonderful, full inhale into the lungs. Whenever I feel tightness in my chest and need to take a deep breath, I start with a long exhale and it makes a big difference.
Happy Breathing!
