Box breathing, what's that exactly? I have heard of that term though. I do breathing exercise based on Yoga. I have felt the power of yoga breathing.

You can try deep breathing exercises like the 4-7-8 technique: inhale deeply for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, then exhale slowly for 8 seconds. Repeat to relax your mind and reduce stress instantly.
