What to Do?

It's natural to feel angry, frustrated, or confused. Rather than avoiding these emotions, acknowledge them and use this breathing technique to regain control.

  • Exhale for four seconds.
  • Hold for four seconds.
  • Repeat until you feel more in control.

More Than Just Calming Down

Box Breathing can be used in various situations, such as writing, running, or preparing for tests. It's not a cure-all, but it's a helpful tool to manage stress and improve focus.

Prep

You don't need special preparations to practice Box Breathing. Just focus on your breathing rhythm. Use this technique in anticipation of stressful events or when someone starts irritating you. It helps keep your head clear and your responses measured.
