This simple, yet powerful intentional breathing technique will distract you from your intrusive thoughts and will relax your overwhelmed nervous system, by switching to parasympathetic nervous system (the state where you rest and digest after a stressful period). Since this technique can decrease your blood pressure and heart rate, it will also help you to sleep.
How Does it Work?
1.) Breathe in through your nose counting to 4
2.) Hold your breath counting to 7
3.) Breathe out through your mouth counting to 8
4.) Repeat 3 times twice a day
You can use my video that will guide you through the breathing.
