The 4-7-8 breathing technique is a simple and powerful breathing method that can help you reduce stress and anxiety, and promote feelings of relaxation. By breathing in for a count of four, holding for seven counts, and exhaling for eight counts, youll activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relieving stress. This exercise is perfect for those who want a quick and effective way to calm their minds and bodies.

 Steps:
1. Sit comfortably with your back straight and your eyes closed.
2. Place the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth, just behind your front teeth. Keep your tongue in this position throughout the exercise.
3. Inhale through your nose for a count of four seconds.
4. Hold your breath for seven seconds.
5. Exhale slowly through your mouth for eight seconds, making a whooshing sound as you do.
6. This completes one cycle. Repeat the cycle for at least four times.
