The 4-4-4 breathing technique cycles four seconds of exhale, inhale, and hold. It shifts your nervous system out of stress mode and activates your prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain linked to creativity and focus.

I like the 4-4-4 breath method, which is where you just go leave empty for 4 seconds, breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, do it over and over and over. And as you do that, it actually calms your nervous system down, gets your brain out of a frenetic or stress state into a calmer state, which allows you to access more of your prefrontal cortex and more of your creativity. Focus-enhancing breathwork is a really key aspect as well.
