On-call, heart racing, before you open the logs.

0:10 of the voice, then a breath or two. Best with headphones.

What happens

A double breath in, then a long, slow sigh out. The fastest way down.

Why it works

Two breaths in through the nose, then a long breath out, empties the lungs fully and slows the heart on every exhale. In a month long study, five minutes a day of this lifted mood more than mindfulness meditation did.

For engineers & tech, and every other moment, in the app.
