What if you can't breathe in though your nose?

[@rmt3589]

@AmTotallyNothing I do, just can't really breathe through it most of the time.

[@youaligned]

That’s a great question! While the inhale through the nose is important, it’s better to get the breath in than not, so try it through your mouth and let us know how it goes!🙏

I do the 4 second breathing technique to calm myself from anything.

[@youaligned]

Thanks for sharing! What is the 4 second technique?

[@angelaburns6987]

@youaligned breath in your nose while counting to 4, hold it in while counting to 4 and then blow it out while counting to 4. Slowly counting not quick.

[@vitorbarradas7430]

How long can we do that?

[@youaligned]

Per session, 1-3 times is ideal, but you can practice physiological breaths anytime you need throughout the day!
