💬 Deine Erfolgsgeschichten
I started using box breathing during my commute when traffic would spike my anxiety. At first it felt awkward, but now it's my go-to reset. Last week, I used it before a difficult conversation with my boss and was amazed at how clear-headed I remained. That four-count pattern has become my personal pause button.
