Box breathing 4-4-4-4
Box breathing means breathing in for 4 seconds, holding for 4, breathing out for 4 and holding for 4, four times in a row, which takes 64 seconds. It is a calm, invisible pause that turns an automatic reach for your phone into a deliberate choice.

What if I can't do it?
Shorten the holds to 2 seconds, or drop them and simply breathe in for 4 and out for 4. If anything feels uncomfortable, breathe normally and stop; “I can't do this” in the app swaps in another Move and stops suggesting it.
