How to practice:
Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
Hold your breath for 7 seconds
Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds
Repeat the cycle 7–10 times
After a few rounds, you'll likely notice your heart rate slowing and you'll feel warm or heavy—these are signs that your body is entering rest mode.
Step 2: Release Hidden Muscle Tension
Even when you think you're relaxed, your body may feel unnoticeable tension in areas like your jaw, shoulders, or abdomen. This tension sends signals to your brain to stay alert.
To counteract this, try progressive muscle relaxation:
Start with your feet: tense your muscles for 5 seconds.
Relax and focus on the feeling of relaxation for 10 seconds.
