Summary/Abstract: The article presents the relationship between the regular practice of slow breathing and mood and stress levels, as well as the direct effects of a few minutes of slow breathing exercise. Breathing exercises were explained and the results of the latest research on slow breathing and its impact on human mood were discussed. Many of these studies reveal that breathing exercises contribute to the improvement of mood and well-being and the reduction of symptoms of tension and anxiety, which translates into better functioning of a person in the work environment, including an increase in his efficiency and job satisfaction. From the company's point of view, this, in turn, means lower costs resulting from errors made by employees.
