A simple solution lies directly in your breath: Breathwork. <\/span><\/p><p data-start=\"75\" data-end=\"352\"><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: #ffffff;\"> Box Breathing and the 6-2-8 method in particular have proven to be powerful techniques for regulating your nervous system and achieving greater clarity in just a few minutes.<\/span><\/p><h6><strong data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"925\">Why Breathwork improves your concentration<\/strong><\/h6><p data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"1302\"><b><br data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"928\" \/><\/b>Your breath is directly connected to your nervous system. When you are stressed, you often breathe shallowly, which leads to an insufficient oxygen supply and makes your brain tired. You can change your condition through conscious breathing: Deeper breaths &#8211; especially through the nose &#8211; activate your parasympathetic nervous system, lower stress hormones and improve mental performance.<\/p><h6><strong data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1372\">Box Breathing: The Navy SEAL technique for a focused mind<\/strong><\/h6><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p>Box breathing, also known as the 4-4-4-4 method, is used by Navy SEALs to stay calm and focused under pressure, and here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p><ol data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1797\"><li data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1585\"><strong data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1544\">Inhale:<\/strong> Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds.<\/li><li data-start=\"1586\" data-end=\"1642\"><strong data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1607\">Hold your breath:<\/strong> Hold your breath for 4 seconds.<\/li><li data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1708\"><strong data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1659\">Exhale:<\/strong> Breathe out slowly through your mouth for 4 seconds.<\/li><li data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"1797\"><strong data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1722\">Pause:<\/strong> Hold your breath again for 4 seconds before repeating the cycle.<\/li><\/ol><p data-start=\"1799\" data-end=\"2010\">Repeat this cycle for 2 to 5 minutes to increase your mental clarity. Box breathing helps you to calm your mind, reduce stress and put you in a state of focused calm. I also use this technique myself before challenging situations.<\/p><p data-start=\"2017\" data-end=\"2261\">\u00a0<\/p><h6><strong data-start=\"2017\" data-end=\"2091\">The 6-2-8 method: deeper concentration and relaxed attention<\/strong><\/h6><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p data-start=\"2017\" data-end=\"2261\">The 6-2-8 method is another effective breathing technique that helps you to get into a relaxed but alert state.

The 6-2-8 method also lowers blood pressure and improves oxygen uptake &#8211; ideal for harmonizing your body and mind.<\/p><h6>Which of the two techniques is suitable for which situation?<\/h6><h6>\u00a0<\/h6><p data-start=\"2755\" data-end=\"2926\">Both techniques &#8211; Box Breathing and the 6-2-8 method &#8211; are easy to use and can help you in different situations:<\/p><ul data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"3321\"><li data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"3038\"><strong data-start=\"2930\" data-end=\"2977\">Before important meetings or presentations:<\/strong> Use Box Breathing to quickly find calm and clarity.<\/li><\/ul><div>\u00a0<\/div><ul data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"3321\"><li data-start=\"3039\" data-end=\"3166\"><strong data-start=\"3041\" data-end=\"3071\">When studying or working:<\/strong> The 6-2-8 method helps you to get deep into the flow state and minimize distractions.<\/li><\/ul><div>\u00a0<\/div><ul data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"3321\"><li data-start=\"3167\" data-end=\"3321\"><strong data-start=\"3169\" data-end=\"3198\">For mental exhaustion:<\/strong> Both techniques offer you a natural way to recharge your batteries and restore your concentration.<\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"3323\" data-end=\"3515\">Try out both methods and find out which one suits you best.
