Try Box Breathing for Stress Relief – Monthly Tip for Injury Prevention
Box breathing is a stress-relief technique that you can easily do anytime. It helps lower injury risk, improve focus and lift mood by boosting oxygen flow to your brain. It also slows heart rate and lowers blood pressure.
To practice 4 x 4 box breathing:
• Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
• Hold your breath for 4 seconds
• Exhale through your mouth for 4 seconds
• Hold for 4 seconds and repeat as needed
Use box breathing to start your day in a relaxed state and when you feel stressed.
