Three breaths for a busy day

Tiny practices you can do at your desk, in the car, or between meetings to come back to yourself.

You don't need a 60-minute session to use the breath. Here are three small practices to take into your day.

1. The physiological sigh

Two inhales through the nose (a small one, then a top-up), and one long exhale through the mouth. Two or three rounds is enough to drop a notch of stress.

2. Box breathing

In for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. A quiet anchor between meetings.

3. One long exhale

When everything feels too much: one slow, long, audible exhale. Reset. Begin again.

Begin
