Deep breathing has so many benefits. Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique.⠀
- Allow your lips to gently part.⠀
- Exhale completely, making a breathy whoosh sound as you do.⠀
- Press your lips together as you silently inhale through the nose for a count of 4 seconds.⠀
- Hold your breath for a count of 7.⠀
- Exhale again for a full 8 seconds, making a whooshing sound throughout.⠀
- Repeat 4 times when you first start. Eventually work up to 8 repetitions.⠀
