About this tool

Breathing Pattern Picker suggests one simple breathing pattern for how you feel right now. Feeling wired? Try box breathing: four counts in, four hold, four out, four hold. Feeling anxious? Try a longer exhale, or the 4-7-8 pattern. Each is one minute and needs no equipment.

These patterns are widely used for relaxation. They are not a treatment. If breathlessness, chest pain or panic is persistent or severe, seek medical help.
