Sigh I get tired of this trite advice of “mindfulness”. That doesn’t do much for me especially for things I know the outcome of already.

Box breathing is inhaling for a count to four. Holding for a count to four. Exhaling for a count to four. Holding for a count to four. Repeat four times (for a total of 5 times).

Deep breathing to me is different although I am not an expert. Deep breathing is engaging the diaphragm. It doesn't necessarily require me to hold my breath. Breathing where I see my tummy go in and out as I inhale and exhale.
