Box Breathing
One useful technique to learn to help with dealing with stress is Box Breathing. It takes about 15 minutes to learn and once mastered can be applied unobtrusively and quietly – ideal for a classroom situation. This technique is described below. Just before beginning the How Do You Cope exercise would be a good time to teach the students Box Breathing. Box Breathing can help your heart rate return to normal, which helps you to relax. Here’s how you do it: If possible, sit and close your eyes. If not, just focus on your breathing. Step 1: Inhale your breath (preferably through your nose) for 4 seconds. Step 2: Hold your breath for 4 seconds. You’re not trying to deprive yourself of air; you’re just giving the air a few seconds to fill your lungs. Step 3: Exhale slowly through your mouth for 4 seconds. Step 4: Pause for 4 seconds (without speaking) before breathing again. Repeat this process as many times as you can. Even 30 seconds of deep breathing will help you feel more relaxed and in control. |
