Square breathing is a really simple way to focus your mind as you slow your breathing down.
Focus your gaze on anything nearby, a window, door, picture frame. Just use it to trace your eyes around the shape as you count a 4 second intake of breath, hold it for 4 seconds and then breathe out for 4 seconds.
Keep breathing in this way and tracing your eyeline around the shape to help you focus. You can do this anywhere, any time and nobody even needs to know you’re doing it.
It can take a few minutes to calm the body but it can stop anxiety from escalating. Why not give it a try 😊
