Breathe
4–2–6–2 Breathing
Inhale — 4
Hold — 2
Exhale — 6
Pause — 2
Repeat for 3–5 minutes
This breathing technique is effective because the extended exhalation activates the parasympathetic nervous system ("rest and digest"), gently reducing stress, lowering heart rate, and calming a racing mind. It acts as a portable tool for anxiety relief and focus.
