We want to introduce you to ‘box breathing’, also known as ‘resetting your breath’ and ‘four square breathing. It is a technique used by the SAS. In these times of uncertainty and confusion where we feel scattered, anxious, or stressed, this simple technique can give you a level of control back. Studies have shown that box breathing can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms. Giving you a better focus and better ability to deal with the ups and downs of everyday life.
