What is Box Breathing?
Box Breathing, also known as Square Breathing, is a technique used by many to regain control of their breath and calm their mind. The practice involves inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling, and holding the breath again, all for equal counts of time. This creates a square or box pattern, hence the name.

- Hold: Lastly, hold your breath for another four seconds before starting the cycle again.
