Heart racing? Pressure rising? Here's a simple 1-minute breathing exercise to quickly calm your body and mind, anywhere, anytime.
First, sit comfortably or stand tall. Relax your shoulders. Place one hand on your belly to feel the movement of your breath.
Let's begin. Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of 4.
Hold that breath gently for a count of 4.
Now, exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of 6, as if you're blowing out a candle.
Repeat this pattern for about one minute. This signals your nervous system to shift into a calmer state, slowing your heart rate and helping your blood vessels relax.
Practice this daily to make it your natural response to stress. Just one minute can make a real difference for your heart and your peace of mind.
