It makes noise in my head, thoughts are jumping, it is impossible to concentrate – it is familiar to everyone who has come across stress at work or at home. And we all came across. Ordinary tips “relax” or “distracted” do not work when the nervous system is already overloaded. But there is a simple method that really helps the military to control themselves in the most difficult situations. This Technique “Breathing on the square”.
It is simple and does not require time or preparation. Inhale through the nose to 4 accounts, hold your breath for another 4, then slowly exhale by 4 counts and hold your breath again by 4. All 4 times.
It is important to imagine that you draw an imaginary square – so attention is concentrated not only on breathing, but also on the image. After 2-3 minutes of this cycle, the body relaxes, anxious thoughts “slow down”, and the long-awaited clarity appears in the head.
Psychologist Svetlana Berezova from the TG channel “Business Psychology” (18+) confirms: a combination of even rhythm and visualization helps to “restart” the brain, turn off the internal chaos and regain control. This technique is advised to use in excitement before an important meeting, negotiations, a date, an exam, or just to restore after a hard day.

Before starting changes in nutrition or training, it is recommended to consult your doctor to ensure the safety and efficiency of the selected measures.
