Fred, I have also heard and read that the breathing/relaxation approach only works as a system if practiced regularly. In other words, calling upon it to work in an anxiety provoking situation or when your anxiety escalates, can provide the short term help, but for longer term effect, it only works if you make practicing the skill part of your routine several times a day, tense or not.
