Well-Being and Breathing Exercise to reduce Anxiety and fall asleep faster
Dr Andrew Weill shares in this video a breathing exercise that will help us reduce tension, anxiety, get into a better state of relaxation, as well as help with sleeping when anxious - he calls it the "4-7-8 breathing technique."
Dr Weill describes this breathing technique this way: 1. Press the tip of your tongue to the tissue behind your front teeth, then exhale your breath completely out through your mouth; 2. While keeping your tongue pressed behind your teeth, inhale softly through your nose for a count of 4 seconds; 3. Then hold your breath for 7 seconds. 4. Exhale with a whoosh sound all the air through your mouth for 8 seconds; then repeat this cycle for a total of 4 times.
