Two minutes, just for you. Follow the circle — breathe in as it grows, out as it shrinks.
Ready when you are
Well done. That's two minutes you gave yourself.
Box breathing — four counts in, four counts held, four counts out, four counts held — is a simple way to calm your body's stress response. It's used by everyone from nurses to first responders because it works in the moment, with nothing to buy and nothing to learn.
This is a general relaxation practice, not medical advice or treatment. If you have a heart or breathing condition, check with your doctor before trying breathing exercises.
