Got a minute? It’s a serious question. Our day-to-day routine can be so jam-packed that it often seems like there’s no time for a break, which in turn can leave us feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Even a one-minute exercise can help.
Box breathing, a square breathing, is a Navy SEAL breathing technique, also known as tactical breathing. It is a surprisingly simple and effective way to help becoming calm and control your thoughts when under stress.
This technique is used to calm yourself down with a simple foursecond rotation of breathing in, holding your breath, breathing out, holding your breath and repeating.
Here is how it works:
• Inhale while counting to four
• Hold your lungs full for four seconds, count to four
• Exhale for while counting to four
• Hold your lungs empty for four seconds, count to four
• Repeat starting from the first step.
You can also do that when you have trouble falling asleep.
