All right, here's the second breath practice for stressed out CEOs or anybody else experiencing stress. It's called box breathing. We're going to inhale, hold, exhale, and hold in equal parts. So again, if you're not already, sit up straight, spine tall, chin in, slightly. Inhale for a count of four. Hold. Exhale for four. Hold. Give that a try. Four to eight cycles. Anytime you're feeling stressed, ungrounded, or you just can't focus, and it'll bring you back to where you need to be.
