Box Breathing

Learning or relearning how to breathe deeply is really important. Try these simple suggestions to support your technique:

Inhale into your belly so it expands, then your ribcage, then the upper chest.
Exhale in reverse, upper chest, ribcage then belly

By inhaling and exhaling through the nose it stimulates the nerves that activate the parasympathetic nervous system.

I like to use my finger to follow the lines of the box telling myself in my head the step I am doing. Just 1-2 minutes is a great place to start.

Work on your technique and slowly build up to however long feels good. My sweet spot is about 5 minutes 2-3 times per day.

Let me know if you try and what you think!
