And I have a habit of holding my breath when I am around chemicals or exhaust - but maybe that is a good thing - well it would be if I could hold it long enough to get past it, instead I gasp for breath and probably breath more of it in. I have, though, Damien, in a stressful situation, actually said in my head, "Breathe, 2, 3, 4" or similar to make me concentrate on calming down. And without exception it has helped. I'm going to try the three mailbox thing on our next walk. Thanks.
