Any routine or technique that has made significant improvement in your speech?

Any routine or technique that has made significant improvement in your speech? My stuttering is mostly **anxiety-driven**. When I’m relaxed, like early in the morning right after waking up, my speech is noticeably smoother. But as the day progresses and the usual stress of life kicks in, it gets worse. Unfortunately, we can’t live in that calm "safe mode" all the time. It’s now affecting both my **professional life** and **personal relationships**, and I want to manage it better. I'm not aiming for a 100% fix, but I’d love to reduce the **blocks**, **avoidance behaviors**, and especially the **tight breathing** patterns. **Has anyone here made significant progress using a method or strategy that worked well for them?** I’m open to hearing any practical advice or techniques that have truly helped. *P.S.* I’ve tried deep breathing before every sentence, but it feels unnatural — like I’m faking normal speech. That’s not how fluent people talk, and it stands out.
