Breathe Out Longer Than You Breathe In

The exhale activates your parasympathetic nervous system — the part of your body that signals it's safe to calm down. Inhale for four counts, exhale for six to eight. This isn't wellness mysticism; it's basic physiology. Your vagus nerve responds to a longer exhale by slowing your heart rate. You don't need a quiet room or ten minutes. This works in under a minute, wherever you are.
The point
A longer exhale than inhale activates your body's calm-down response within seconds.
