calm down · relax
Life often throws unexpected curveballs, right? 🤯 When you are drowning in a mountain of assignments, your heart is pounding before a big presentation, or you are just about to get into a silly argument with a friend – that moment right before you explode! 🚨 This expression is your go-to advice to say, "Hey, pause for a second, take a deep breath, and gather your thoughts." It's like a universal chill pill! 🧘♀️
💡 This phrase literally means 'to breathe deeply,' but it is most often used to tell someone to 'calm down' when they are excited or anxious. If you tell a stressed friend, "Hey, take a deep breath!" it's a kind suggestion to take a moment and compose themselves. 😉 Just like the saying, "haste makes waste," when things get tough, take a deep breath! 🌬️
When would you most appropriately tell someone to 'Take a deep breath'? A. When they've just won the lottery and are super excited. B. When they are about to start a very important presentation. C. When they are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anger.
