Try it out: sit comfortably, inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth. We'd love to hear how you feel after trying this exercise.

Box Breathing Technique
Box breathing is a popular technique used by athletes and first responders to stay calm under pressure. Here's how it works: inhale for a count of 4, hold your breath for 4, exhale for 4, then wait for 4 before repeating. Give it a try and let us know if you feel more focused and relaxed.

Belly Breathing for Relaxation
Belly breathing, or diaphragmatic breathing, is great for relaxation. To do this, place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. Breathe in deeply through your nose, letting your belly gently guide your hand upwards. Exhale through your nose, feeling your belly fall. Try this before bed and tell us if it helps you sleep better. We're always open to your suggestions for future topics!
Choose your favourite and be sure to practice everyday this week. Notice how you feel.
Happy breathing!
