Whether you just want to practice being truly present and embodied or you’re looking for a centering practice to help with anxiety, taking a moment to try box breathing is an effective way to intentionally just be.
Set a timer if you like, and commit to perhaps 1-3 minutes of breathing on purpose: in for four counts, out for four counts, hold for four counts.
If you war a smart watch, you may be able to visibly see your stress levels and heart rate lower as you focus on the rhythm of your breath.
