Hey Friends! 

Breathwork is a powerful tool for managing anxiety and stress. One simple and effective technique is the 4-7-8 breathing exercise. Here's how to do it:

  1. Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down. 
  2. Breath in slowly and deeply through your nose for a count of 4.
  3. Hold your breath for a count of 7.
  4. Exhale slowly and completely through your mouth for a count of 8.
  5. Repeat the cycle three more times, for a total of four rounds.

This technique helps to slow down your breathing and activate your body's natural relaxation response. By focusing on your breath, you can calm your mind and reduce feelings of anxiety and stress. 

Remember, it's important to practice breathwork regularly to reap the full benefits. Try incorporating this exercise into your daily routine, or use it whenever you need a quick and effective way to calm your anxiety. Take a deep breath, and let the calm wash over you.
