Have you ever had a stressful situation in which you wished you had a magic tool to remain calm? Well there is one, it’s called the 4-7-8 relaxation breathing sequence.
This technique relaxes the nervous system and allows you to be calm and think clearly.
Here's how you do it:
1. Sit up straight in a chair.
2. Place the tip of your tongue up against the roof of your mouth. Keep it there through the entire breathing process.
3. Breathe in silently through your nose to the slow count of 4.
4. Hold your breath to the count of 7.
5. Exhale through your mouth to the count of 8, making a slight audible sound.
6. Repeat the 4-7-8 cycle another three times, for a total of four breathing exercises.
Have a calm Monday ; )
