7. Increases Mindfulness
How? Here are two of the simplest yet most powerful methods:
The 4-7-8 Technique
This is an excellent stress reduction technique that can be used anywhere or at any time (even to help you fall asleep):
Breathe in for 4 Seconds
Hold for 7 Seconds
Exhale for 8 Seconds
Repeat at least 6 times
Box Breathing
This is simply breathing in for 5 seconds, holding for 5 seconds, breathing out for 5 seconds and holding again for 5. Repeat this technique 6 times or as often as desired.
Yes it's that simple to reap the rewards and the best part about these breathing techniques is that you can use them anywhere – driving in traffic, on a plane, before giving a speech or at night to fall asleep just to name a few. The practice of deep breathing offers a bunch of science-based benefits that extend far beyond the simple act of inhaling and exhaling.
