Square or box breathing is a simple tool we can all use. Breathe in for four seconds, hold your breath for four seconds, breathe out for four seconds, hold your breath for four seconds, and repeat this for at least four to five rounds.

The power of breath is grounding and centering. In times of stress or strain, deep breathing has the ability to bring calm to our nervous system, reset our focus, and give us time between action and reaction.

The IHS Health IT Modernization Program prioritizes collaboration as we build & operate PATH EHR. To support this, the Enterprise Collaboration Group (ECG) was established. Check out this month's blog to learn more: https://t.co/jx6MBg6BKn #ModernizeHealth #HealthITModernization
