The 4 7 8 method has helped many people to relieve anxiety and fall asleep at night.
The breathing technique is performed by inhaling for 4 seconds, holding for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds.
It was made popular by Dr. Andrew Weil. Thanks to him for sharing it.
It was shown in a recent study to relieve anxiety for patients after surgery: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36480...
For better anxiety relief and relaxation, try the following:
Inhale through your nose, and exhale through your mouth like you're blowing out a candle.
Relax your shoulders as you exhale, and maintain the relaxation during the inhale and hold.
