Box Breathing: The Practice That Changed Everything

Box breathing has been transformative for me. It was the first breathing technique that helped me refocus when I was in a dark place and struggling. It became the first practice I made a habit — and it’s the one I’m committing to for the next week (if not the next month).

This simple rhythm — in, hold, out, hold — has the power to take you from whatever emotion or level of chaos you’re in… to a state of calm, focus, and clarity. It’s a reset button for your nervous system and your mind.

When will you do it? Morning? Midday? Before bed?

For me, I practice box breathing at the gym, during my morning treadmill walks — it helps me focus on lung capacity, strength, and clarity before the day begins.
