Box Breathing
Box Breathing is a deep breathing technique that allows you to clear your mind, calm your nervous system and destress. This technique is uniquely helpful for those experiencing high levels of anxiety. The need to concentrate on the count of the breath distracts the mind from anxious thoughts and centers the person back to regulated thoughts. You can think of it like a square. Every count is the same, just like all 4 sides of a square are the same.
How to Box Breathe:
Inhale - 4 count
Hold - 4 count
Exhale - 4 count
Hold - 4 count
Keep this practical tool in your pocket for a time you mind just need a minute to regulate.
