Enjoy this breathing exercise to reset your nervous system

This pattern is 4-4-6-2 breathing.

Breathe in 4 seconds
Hold for 4 seconds
Breathe out 6 seconds
Pause for 2 seconds

You can breathe in and out through your nose, or you may find it easier to breathe out through your mouth like you are blowing out a candle.

By practicing deep breathing, we activate the vagus nerve, which shifts us into the parasympathetic state, helping us relax. This quick "reset" lowers heart rate, reduces stress, and brings balance back to the body—an easy tool for managing stress!

This 4-4-6-2 breathing pattern was tested in some research studies and was found to create measurable vagus nerve stimulation.
