How to Practice 4-7-8 Breathing:
Sit comfortably with a straight back and gently close your eyes.
Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of four.
Hold your breath for a count of seven.
Exhale completely through your mouth, producing a whooshing sound, for a count of eight.
Repeat the sequence as needed throughout the day, and try it before bedtime to promote a restful sleep. Emerging research suggests that this technique can significantly reduce anxiety and stress, making it a valuable tool for those managing anxiety disorders.
