## Caption

One study using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (#fMRI) 🧠📊 showed slow, deep breathing to have anatomical changes in cortical regions associated with cognitive functions (such as decision-making 🤔 and voluntary movement 🏃‍♂️) and subcortical regions associated with autonomic functions (such as sleep 😴 and hormone regulation 💪).

So cool to think about the impact a slow breath can have on the body! 🌬️✨ Although many techniques can slow and regulate breathing, try this simple and effective tool, called “box breathing” ⬛, to integrate into your life anytime, anywhere. 💫

1️⃣ Place a stopwatch in front of you ⏱️
2️⃣ Press start, and breathe in for 4 seconds 🌬️
3️⃣ Hold your breath for 4 seconds 🙌
4️⃣ Exhale for 4 seconds 🌬️
5️⃣ Hold for 4 seconds 🙏
6️⃣ Repeat 4 times 🔁
