Want to calm down and refocus? Try box breathing

Box breathing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to calm yourself and refocus in times of stress.

Used everywhere from the boardroom to the battle field, this technique stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to slow your heart rate, lower blood pressure and improve your mood.
It’s quick, it’s easy, and it works.

Give it a try and let me know if it worked for you!
