What box breathing is
Box breathing is a simple pattern: inhale, hold, exhale, hold—each for the same count.
How to do it (4 steps)
Inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. Repeat for 1–3 minutes.
Use it before you buy or sell
A short breathing reset can reduce impulse decisions and help you notice urgency or FOMO.
FAQ
How long should I do box breathing?
Try 1–3 minutes. Even 4 cycles can help.
What if holding my breath feels uncomfortable?
Reduce the count (e.g., 3-3-3-3) and keep it gentle.
Does box breathing help anxiety?
It can reduce acute stress sensations, but it’s not a replacement for professional care when needed.
