    Square breathing is a deep breathing technique shown to relax the nervous system where you breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, and hold for 4 seconds, repeating the cycle. Deep breathing can help calm and regulate the nervous system, help the body cope with stress, ease panic and worry, and bring more oxygen to the body. The technique may use shorter times if 4 seconds is difficult, and saying the numbers or getting comfortable can aid relaxation during the breathing.
