This takes 2 minutes.
Sit or stand comfortably.
- Breathe in gently through your nose.
- Breathe out through your nose.
- At the end of the exhale, pause for 2 seconds - no strain.
- Let the next inhale arrive on its own.
Repeat for 6–8 breaths.
If the pause feels edgy, shorten it to 1 second or skip it.
Why this helps:
A soft pause after the exhale tells the nervous system it’s safe to slow down.
Use this anytime you feel rushed or mentally noisy.
