““Breathe in through your nose for four counts, “One, two, three, and four.” Try holding the breath in for four counts, “One, two, three, and four.” Exhale through your mouth for four counts, “One, two, three, and four.” You should feel your body begin to relax. Repeat this cycle. In through the nose, “One, two, three, four.” Hold, “One, two, three, four.” Release, “one, two, three, four.” With each cycle of breathing, you will feel your body release built-up stress, and your mind will starts to clear. Repeat this until the time is up or you are ready to return to your day. You can repeat it throughout the day as needed. I always recommend this type of breathing before a stressful event, such as a public presentation, since it helps you release anxiety and regain focus. ””
