Comment on Box breathing techniques and benefits

Comments

Box breathing has actually worked for me. It's a nice quick way to get a moment of calm in a busy day. Just a few minutes can make an immediate difference in mood.

There's a zillion apps; I tried a lot of them and settled on Breathly. The UI is simple, it's open source, and it's free without bullshit. https://github.com/mmazzarolo/breathly-app

I have it installed, but I don't use as I've never seen the point of an app assisting by breathing. How do you feel it's helpful? Have you tried without it?

I find it helpful to have an automated timer rather than trying to count myself.
