Box Breathing For Anxiety - 2 Minutes

Box Breathing is a breathing exercise that constitutes a 4-4-4-4 breath: inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and hold again for 4. This breathing exercise is widely used to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, our "rest and digest" function. Box Breathing also promotes equilibrium to our internal energy and offers mental clarity. If you are anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out, this is especially useful to help regain control and help alleviate mental anguish. It is also recommended for regular use for long-term self-care programs and periodic nervous system resets.
