Fun Fact
Navy SEALs and other special operations forces use a renowned 4-minute breathing technique called 'box breathing' or 'tactical breathing.' The pattern is: breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, hold empty for 4 seconds. This creates a 4-minute complete cycle. This technique helps reduce stress, improve focus, and regulate the autonomic nervous system. It's also used by athletes, executives, and meditation practitioners for performance enhancement and emotional regulation.
