Feeling stressed, anxious, or scattered?
Here’s a 60-Second Breathwork Technique You Can Try…
When stress hits out of nowhere, you don’t always have time for a full meditation or a quiet place to reset. That’s where this simple, science-backed breathwork technique comes in.
It’s called the Physiological Sigh, and you can do it anywhere; in your car, at your desk, before a meeting, or even in a crowded room.
Here’s how it works:
1. Inhale through your nose until your lungs feel almost full.
2. Take one more short sip of air through your nose — like a quick “top-off.”
3. Slowly exhale through your mouth until your lungs feel completely empty.
4. Repeat this 1–3 times.
That’s it!!
This technique signals your nervous system to relax by lowering carbon dioxide in the bloodstream and gently activating the body’s natural calm-down response. It’s fast, discreet, and remarkably effective.
Whenever you feel your chest tighten, your mind race, or stress start to build, pause for a moment and try this. You’ll feel the shift almost instantly, your heart rate softens, your shoulders drop, and your thinking becomes clearer.
A minute of breathing can change your whole day.
Save this for later or share it with someone who could use a little calm right now (all of us!).
