Box breathing is a simple breathing technique that helps reduce stress and improve focus. It involves inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling, and holding again, each for a count of four. This method creates a rhythmic pattern that can calm the mind and body.
To practice box breathing, find a comfortable position and close your eyes. Inhale deeply through your nose for four seconds, hold your breath for four seconds, exhale slowly through your mouth for four seconds, and hold again for four seconds. Repeat this cycle several times to enhance relaxation and mental clarity.
