Hello,

This is Jennifer Ellis,

And we're going to spend a few moments together doing some box breathing.

Box breathing is fantastic to support you with focus,

To help you be a little bit more calm when you need it,

A little bit more stress-free.

I personally use it a lot for focus.

So I'm going to guide you,

We're going to do four counts.

The inhales and exhales are through the nose,

So it'll be an inhale for four through the nose.

We'll hold that inhale for four,

And then we'll exhale through the nose for four,

And then we're going to hold the exhale for four.

So let's spend a few moments together,

Get into our space,

Do some box breathing,

Focus our mind,

And then head right back out into our day feeling great.

Find your comfortable space,

And let's begin.
