The 4-7-8 technique is a simple way to slow down, focus on your breath, and give your body a moment to settle.
- 4Inhale gently through your nose
- 7Hold your breath without straining
- 8Exhale slowly through your mouth
Begin with a full exhale, then repeat the sequence for four rounds. Keep the pace comfortable. Return to normal breathing if holding your breath feels uncomfortable, and stop if you feel dizzy or short of breath.
