Box Breathing Technique for Stress Relief and Focus #3388149 (License: Personal Use)

The image illustrates a person lying comfortably on their back, eyes closed, mentally counting through the four phases of box breathing: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and pause for 4. A thought bubble shows the sequence “IN, 1, 2, 3, 4 … HOLD, 1, 2, 3, 4,” guiding the practice. This evidence-based technique is widely used in mindfulness, military training, and clinical therapy to regulate the autonomic nervous system.

Used on wellness, mental health, or sleep-focused web pages to visually teach breathwork; matches user intent for stress management, insomnia relief, or mindfulness beginners seeking actionable techniques.
