How can I relax my mind in seconds?

Published in Relaxation Techniques 1 min read

To relax your mind in seconds, try the 4-7-8 breathing technique.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Breathe in quietly through your nose for 4 seconds.
  2. Hold your breath for 7 seconds.
  3. Exhale forcefully through your mouth with a "whooshing" sound for 8 seconds.
  4. Repeat as needed.

This technique, often called the "relaxing breath," helps to slow your heart rate and calm your nervous system quickly. It can be used anywhere, anytime you feel stressed or anxious. Regular practice can also improve sleep and overall well-being. The key is to focus on your breathing and follow the timing closely.
