Five Breathing Techniques for Stress Relief and Sleep 🌬️ [Soft-Spoken]

Hey there, hope you’re doing well and in a good place!

Today, I’m quickly going over 5 different breathing techniques, in the hopes that you might find one you really like and can continue to use to reduce stress or fall asleep.

It’s a good idea to start these breathing techniques sitting up, but you can do the final two laying down in bed if you’d prefer, especially if you’re trying to fall asleep.

*Timestamps*
0:00 Intro
1:18 Alternate Nostril/Nasal Breathing
4:39 Box Breathing
6:14 4-7-8 Breathing
8:32 Papworth Method
11:34 Diaphragmatic Breathing
14:02 Outro

Fun fact: I used the 4-7-8 breathing while at the dentist recently. Definitely helped me feel less stressed!

I’m pretty awkward, and when I shot this, it was one of those ~extra~ awkward days, where I couldn’t really talk. Do you ever have those days too? No amount of editing can fix me lol. However, trying out the breathing techniques is hopefully worth it anyway! :)

Hope you enjoy the video. See you again soon? Until then…stay well, and stay well-rested, my friends!
