Perspective:
Ever notice how we remember to breathe only when we’re out of breath? What if a few mindful breaths can change the course of your whole day?
Mindset Minute: Instant Calm Breathing Techniques to Reset Your Day
Breathe In, Breathe Out.
Breathing exercises are like a reset button for your mind.
When stress creeps up, a quick breathing technique can stop it in its tracks.
Here are three go-to methods to try today:
4-7-8 Technique:
Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale through your mouth for 8. This simple pattern helps quiet your mind and lower your heart rate—perfect for a mid-day reset.
Box Breathing:
Imagine a box. Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and hold again for 4. Repeat a few rounds to clear away tension and ground yourself in the present.
Deep Belly Breathing:
Place a hand on your belly, breathe in deeply, and feel your stomach expand. This sends a signal to your nervous system to relax. Do this for 1-2 minutes, and watch stress melt away.
Why It Works:
When we’re stressed, shallow breathing kicks in.
These deeper techniques engage the body’s relaxation response, helping you stay cool under pressure.
