It's just box breathing for 5 or 10 minutes. >> So 5 seconds inhale, 5-second hold, 5-second exhale, five 5 seconds. >> And sometimes I'll do doubles. I'll do 10 seconds.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

i started with four four four so four inhale four hold for exhale for hold and i thought well can i do five and i actually found five to be challenging for an inhale and i found myself limited and of course there's variables in terms of how quickly you inhale but i found that to be an interesting exercise for me personally to be like how long can i inhale how big can i inflate my chest cavity my rib basket
I've recently started thinking about box breathing more and I started with four four four so four inhale four hold for exhale for hold and i thought well can i do five and i actually found five to be challenging for an inhale and i found myself limited and of course there's variables in terms of how quickly you inhale but i found it actually challenging to inhale for a full five seconds so i made it like oh i'm going to try and just keep breathing and see how long i can inhale and so it feels like for me it's getting a little bit better gradually and my goal is to be able to inhale for as long as possible
