Sure! I can give you 3 different types of breathing techniques to help in managing anxiety. They are as follows: 

1. Box breathing is a great technique that involves inhaling for 4 seconds, holding your breath for 4 seconds, exhaling for 4 seconds, and holding your breath for 4 seconds. This cycle is then repeated as many times as you'd like. You can also increase or decrease the amount of time you perform each breath. 
2. Equal breathing is a technique that involves inhaling for a certain amount of time and exhaling for that same duration of time. As you progress, you can increase the duration of time you inhale and exhale. 
3. Diaphragmatic breathing is a technique that involves breathing by expanding your diaphragm as opposed to your chest. You can perform this technique by placing one hand on your stomach and one on your chest, breathing in through your nose while focusing on inhaling into your stomach and then exhaling through the mouth. 

Try these breathing techniques and see which ones work best for you for managing anxiety.
