Box Breathing Extension

Box Breathing works seamlessly with your browser to relieve stress, increase productivity, anchor decision-making and remind you to take a moment & Box Breathe.

Guiding your box breathing technique, these reminders will appear visually at the beginning of your browsing session and then again every hour upon opening a new tab.

This extension is not disruptive!

This Box Breathing extension was created for the wellness of people who may fail to recognise too frequently the shallowing of their breath, collapsing of posture, and the tensing of the shoulders.

Perhaps you will take advantage of the physical, mental, and emotional benefits offered when participating in box breathing. Or simply gain awareness of your breath and body in that presence and quickly continue browsing as you were.

\"I found the app effective in reminding me to rest momentarily & box breathe, so I could clearly focus on the work that I had to do.\"
-Dr. Robert Peter Klein

Elizabeth McBride (ID: 000000f363011cb4) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/06/2022 It's okay but not what I was hoping for. It would be good if it created a little box on the tab I was working on, so I can continue to use the technique will doing work.

I scored the job so thank you Box Breathing!
