Feeling stressed after a long shift? Learn the same breathing technique Navy Seals use to stay calm under pressure!
Shift workers face stress daily, from chaotic work environments to disrupted sleep schedules. But what if I told you Navy SEALs have a secret weapon to stay calm in the most hight-pressure situations?
It's called BOX BREATHING. A simple yet powerful technique that Navy SEALs use to regulate their nervous system and maintain focus during intense missions.
Here's how you can use box breathing to quickly manage stress after a tough shift:
- Inhale slowly for 4secs
- Hold your breath for 4secs
- Exhale slowly for 4secs
- Hold again for 4secs
Repeat for a couple of minutes, and you'll notice a calming effect on your body and mind.
This breathing technique activates the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), lowering your heart rate and helping you think more clearly in stressful situations.
Whether you've just finished a night shift or are feeling overwhelmed, box breathing is a quick tool to bring you back to centre.
