4-7-8 breath — what did you think?

[victorious-magenta-narwhal]

Not sure why I find these so difficult, how does anyone even enjoy this? Makes me dizzy and so out of breath I lose focus

[strategic-red-frog]

It’s strange, I always found breathing exercises almost exhausting when I first started, years ago, but persevering has meant I have started to see benefits

[late-lime-donkey]

Seemed alright, a little challenging to maintain rhythm but was okay, nothing great or terrible

[calm-tomato-wren]

Today it was hard to relax. This really forced me to focus on my body

[consistent-yellow-cobra]

The inhale needs to breath quick and deep

[balanced-violet-snipe]

I could feel my heart rate increasing a little bit as I only picked two minutes and felt like I had extra pressure to get it right but eventually normalized

[absolute-orange-cobra]

Was solid, felt like I was in a flow state

[medieval-tomato-goat]

It really empties your mind (worries , concerns)

[intellectual-emerald-gorilla]

Stellar

[multiple-fuchsia-junglefowl]

Great, I almost fell asleep.

[representative-fuchsia-guanaco]

It relaxes me but wouldn’t say it clears my mind

[civilian-indigo-ostrich]

I was really in tune with my breath and heart rate. My mind wandered a bit

[wasteful-bronze-nightingale]

This one worked really good! Free of all worry..

[cooing-blush-beaver]

I like it better than box breathing

[ministerial-blush-flamingo]

Enjoyed this one. The hold before breathing out made it much easier to control my breathing and relax

[inevitable-olive-ocelot]

Maybe should have gone for 5 minutes based on the comments. Could feel my pulse across my body.

[charming-sapphire-finch]

This really works, my favorite breathing technique so far.

[absolute-chocolate-bat]

Relaxing for sure, but I agree with the other comments, my mind wandered.

[latin-amethyst-fly]

Grounding. Made me see the positive in a negative thought loop.

[favourable-silver-canidae]

Makes you feel nice and relaxed, I enjoy the breathing exercises
