Breath counting involves focusing your attention on counting each breath cycle to anchor your mind in the present moment. This simple yet powerful mindfulness practice helps interrupt anxious thought loops, calming your nervous system and fostering emotional regulation.
Breath counting works by redirecting attention from anxious or stressful thoughts toward the rhythmic and grounding sensation of breathing. This practice helps calm your nervous system by activating your body�s relaxation response, decreasing heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and reducing stress hormones. Regularly focusing on your breath builds mindfulness skills, enhancing emotional clarity and resilience, and effectively disrupting anxiety-driven thought cycles.
