A two-minute breathwork pattern for stressful meetings

Before your next stressful meeting, try this:

• Inhale through the nose for 4 counts
• Hold for 4 counts
• Exhale through the nose for 4 counts
• Hold empty for 4 counts
• Repeat 4 times

This is "box breathing" — used by Navy SEALs and ER doctors. It activates your parasympathetic nervous system within 90 seconds. You'll feel the difference.

Do it under the table. Nobody needs to know.
