A five-minute habit that cuts through the foundry din

The constant clang and heat used to leave me jangled. I'd drive home with my shoulders up by my ears. A retired guy told me to try box breathing before I leave. You breathe in for four seconds, hold for four, out for four, hold for four. I do it right after I wash up, still in my gear. It resets my nerves like nothing else. Maybe it can help you unwind too.

Try that near a pneumatic wrench.

@the_jake isn't joking, that wrench packs a punch.
