Box Breathing

What is Box Breathing? Box breathing, also known as square breathing or four-square breathing, is a simple yet powerful deep breathing technique used to reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance overall well-being. It involves inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling, and holding again, all for equal counts—forming a "box" pattern. This technique is commonly used by Navy SEALs, athletes, first responders, and individuals in high-stress professions to stay calm under pressure. It is also beneficial for individuals dealing with anxiety, stress, or difficulty concentrating.
