If you struggle with an anxious mind, a depressed mind, a worried mind, any type of purposeful breath work is recommended.
Feeling overwhelmed and stressed out is almost a given in the healthcare industry. But what if there was a simple technique to help you regain control? In this episode of 'Is This All There Is?', Todd Brossart introduces box breathing, a mindfulness practice used by Navy Seals and recovery programs to help regulate the nervous system.
Drawing from his experience as the lead facilitator of a mindfulness group at the Veterans Administration, Todd explains how this method can be a game-changer for healthcare providers. Picture drawing a box in your mind and following your breath to the count of four—it's that straightforward. Towards the end of the episode, Todd even guides you through a brief box breathing exercise, making it easy to follow along.
He also shares a poignant quote from 'The Five Invitations' by Frank Ostaseski, emphasizing the importance of letting go of old patterns to welcome new possibilities. If you're a healthcare worker seeking practical ways to manage stress and take care of yourself, this episode offers invaluable insights and hands-on guidance.
