Box breathing is a mindfulness technique where you take slow, deep breaths. 

It heightens performance, slows the heart rate, improves productivity and relieves stress. 

This technique can benefit anyone, but it’s especially useful to those of us who want to relax or reduce tension. 

And who doesn’t want that? ;)

So, how do you do it? 

Start by sitting upright and slowly expelling the oxygen from your lungs through your mouth. 

Then, inhale deeply through your nose to the slow count of four. 

Hold your breath for another slow count of four. 

Now exhale through your mouth for the same slow count of four, being conscious of the feeling of the air leaving your body. 

Hold your breath for the same slow count of four before repeating the process. 

Ideally, you’ll want to repeat the box breathing cycle four times in one sitting. 

If it’s hard to focus on your breathing, find a quiet, dimly lit space to practice this exercise.
