Lately, I have been sitting in my swing outdoors with the birds chirping and focusing on breathing to regulate my nervous system.
A simple practice for anxiety:
Box Breathing + Breath Prayer
Box breathing is simple:
Inhale → Hold → Exhale → Hold
Use the same count for each.
Example:
4 seconds each
Intentional breathing can:
-calm the nervous system
-lower stress signals
-improve emotional regulation
-bring the body back into rhythm
Add a scripture or meaningful quote to your breathing like this one:
Inhale:
“You made me and sustain me”
Exhale:
“You carry me all my days”
Breathing is one of the simplest ways to steward both the body and mind.
Small practices repeated consistently can begin reshaping how we experience stress, anxiety,
and peace.
“Breathing doesn’t change God’s love for you, but maybe God’s love for you should change the way you breathe."
