Box breathing, or square breathing, is a simple breathing technique that can help slow your breathing and calm your nervous system. The practice is to inhale for a count of four, hold the breath for a count of four, exhale for a count of four, and then hold the breath again for a count of four. This practice might be supportive following a stressful situation or as a break in the middle of a busy day.
