Are you someone who feels anxious from time to time?
Don’t worry, because there are ways to manage these feelings and take care of yourself. Box breathing is a powerful technique that can offer both physical and mental benefits. Remember, the key is to breathe in and out through your nose.
I have a quick and easy 3×3 box breathing exercise that I’d like to invite you to try. All you have to do is inhale for 3 seconds, hold your breath for 3 seconds, and exhale for 3 seconds. Repeat this process three times, and you’ll find yourself feeling calmer and more relaxed. Whether you’re at home or out and about, you can find a place to practice this exercise.
Additionally, if you’re in the midst of a panic attack or feeling overwhelmed, the 5,4,3,2,1 method can help you focus your mind and redirect your thoughts. Take a look at this video tutorial below and give it a try. It’s never too late to take control of your anxiety.
