Boxed breathing? Tell me more ๐.
Just a variation of general breathing exercises.
Created to calm the body and nervous system down, generally used to help with anxiety, stress, insomnia.

I found putting a number of seconds on it made it much harder for me because I was concentrating so hard on breathing exactly x seconds. Just making it even and slow worked much better. YMMV
Yeah completely fair, just slowing down and controlling breathing is good enough for me as well.
I don't necessarily subscribe to this belief but there are certainly purveyors of breathing excellence who would tell you that the count for each side of the box is important.
I agree that counting is challenging.
