A One-Minute Mindshift During Work

Feeling overwhelmed during work? Here’s a quick and easy brain hack to use when things start to feel chaotic: The 4-7-8 Breathing Technique.

This scientifically backed breathing exercise involves inhaling for 4 seconds, holding the breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds. It’s a powerful way to calm your nervous system in just 60 seconds.

By slowing down your breath, you activate the parasympathetic nervous system—bringing your body back to a state of calm. It’s a quick and effective way to regain control, reduce stress, and stay focused.

1. Instant Calm: The 4-7-8 breathing technique brings immediate relaxation.
2. Lower Stress: It reduces anxiety, giving you a clear head to approach your tasks.
3. Increase Focus: By calming your body, you can concentrate better and regain clarity.

When to do it: Use this technique anytime during work when stress builds up. It’s great between tasks or meetings!
