Does nostr:npub14srklruqae9ynu3v9n393h87dcg9mc9lq2dqfrar4r0yk5wph9ts8vrvyl Batman meme make you stressed. Do you ever just feel a little unfocused or run down. Do this. It works. Very well. Reset button.

The 4x4 box breathing exercise:

1. **Inhale** for a count of 4.

2. **Hold** your breath for 4 counts.

3. **Exhale** slowly for 4 counts.

4. **Hold** your breath again for 4 counts.

Repeat this cycle for a few minutes to help calm your mind and body. If you’re like me you do the 6x6 because you’re a A playa. Either works well. HAPPY SUNDAY.

Stay humble.

I’m 8x8x8x8, 50 rounds

I’m rethinking my life. Right now.

As long as you are box breathing while rethinking. you good. 👍 😂

🧐🤔🧐

I wasn’t. I am now.

For real, it is a great exercise. Helps the nervous system. 👍👍👍

100%. Sometimes I forget about just how powerful it really is.

Ask any pro athlete. They know.

I only learned of that a bit ago, can’t remember where but seemed legit

What’ll really bake your noodle is how birds breathe

Oh that's fuckin' cool! So effective at extracting oxygen more consistently!

Yeah, someone on here (sadly forget who) brought it to my attention a couple months ago. Has to do with the high demands on oxygen they have while flying. Has kind of an “always breathing in” effect I think (even in the exhale phase)

Yeah, that's so cool! More consistent rate of gas exchange.

Navy seal shit. But you keep adding seconds as you get better. Leads to a calm/focus

Happy Sunday fren🫡

I’m curious to see how many in the ⭕️ can make it to 10 cycles without their mind drifting off to other thoughts🤔😂

Ur suggestion is actually a great idea…doing the cycle of 6 was taught to us as a “6 second” (full disclosure: takes way longer than 6 seconds) virtual Valium in med school.

They told those of us that were wiggin out to use it right before public speaking or drawing blood for the first time…it achshully works🤷🏽‍♂️

I know of what I speak. 🫡🥄🔥🥄🚀🏆

Druggies will tell you it’s better than DMT but I think they mean wim hof.

Definitely better than wim hof.

Wim hof is bizarre. 6x6 boxed is the way. Or higher.

I can actually hold my breathe for a long time. I amaze in the pool with underwater laps.

People circle around to watch. Kids cry thinking I’m dead. But bam, there I am popping up like a hero. Cheers all around.

Once you learn controlled breathing it is crazy how long you can hold your breath.

Accurate. 👆
