Calm down with box breathing

Four counts in, hold, out, hold. A slow, even rhythm you can do anywhere, unnoticed.

⏱ 1 min

  1. Breathe in through your nose for a count of 4.
  2. Hold for 4.
  3. Breathe out slowly for 4.
  4. Hold for 4, then repeat for about four rounds.

Tip: If holding feels uncomfortable, shorten the counts to 3. The steady rhythm matters more than the number.

Try it now: Do four rounds right now, before the next card.
