this next a instruct act is calledsquare breathing and square breathing can be useful for a couple of reasonsone because our gulp is connected to both the one of the purposes of our nervous system thatwe can control and the one of the purposes of our nervous system that is automatic so ithelps us access that appeasing part of our brain kind of in through the back doorthe other thing about square breathing is you practice it with motley lengthsof wheezes then you can practice frame yourself into a slightlyanxietyprovoking situation which is being out of breath but you’re doing itintentionally in such a way that something that are usually be anxietyprovoking or embarrassing becomes something that you can administer withwillingness so you are basically converting something that might havebeen traumatic into something that is very comfortable and that drills yourbrain to believe that you have the ability to convert something that’sstressful into something that’s beneficial for you so let me justexplain square breathing really quickly so with square breathing youimagine yourself breathing a long a square so you imagine yourself startingat the top right corner of the square and you imagine yourself breathing in forfour seconds and then you imagine yourself holding that breath for fourseconds and then you imagine yourself breathing out so exhaling for fourseconds and then holding that air out for four seconds and you’re back to thetop of the square and you repeat that four times so breathe in two three fourso you’re breathing in that whole time supporting it for four seconds breathingout for four seconds you’re exhaling for four seconds and then you’re stayingwithout wheeze for four more seconds so just like that when you breath you wantto have all the breath out that you are eligible to have out to want to be completely out ofbreath when you’re done with your breath you want to be completely full of breathand the other two are the process of coming in and out now you can lengthenthe amount of time that you’re doing these breaths and exhales and propping soyou can lengthen it out to eight seconds or 10 seconds or 16 seconds but when youlengthen the amount of time that you’re out of breath you’re gonna compel yourbrain to panic for a little bit and that’s where you can kind of challengeyourself to increase your convenience with being out of breath so actually there’stwo ways to do this activity the first road is to just stay at for secondsbreathe in for 4 seconds holds in store for 4 seconds breathe out for 4 seconds holdfor 4 seconds and that’s just gonna be various kinds of naturally mollifying because it’screating a rhythm and the other way you can do this is to challenge yourself tolengthen the amount of time you’re holding that breath and that’s gonna bea little bit more of a mental challenge that creates more resilience so as youdo this activity just watch yourself and pay attention to the sensations that comeup so paying attention to your gulp is going to help you stay centered andgrounded while many ardours go through you I hope this video washelpful thanks for watching and take care hi everyone I’m elicited to announce thatmy udemy course change your intelligence is now live so this is a two hour intensivecourse that goes into the ways that you can change your intelligence chemistry withoutmedication so these are very practical abilities that have been shown throughresearch to improve mental health and combat hollow nervousnes and othermental illnesses in this course I teach the practical application ofneuroplasticity which is the developing realm of science showing that our brainsare adaptable and changing throughout our part lives that our brains canactually reform their structure function and chemistry by how we envision and how weact and such courses coaches ten simple directions that you can improve your mental healthby pleasures that take only a duo minutes every day so I formed thiscourse because this is fundamental information that I think everyone shouldhave access to so satisfy take a look at it the link is in the description it’son udemy.com and I’m including a coupon code if you’d like to take the coursefor free time route me a private meaning and I’ll give you a code so check it outthanks and take care
