Boost your mental strength with this five-minute guided breathing workout

Man with eyes closed breathing deeply in nature.

Working out with weights like kettlebells and dumbbells is a great way to build muscle, boost your fitness, and strengthen your core. But you don’t need any of those to develop mental strength. All you really need is five minutes, a quiet space, and this short guided breathing exercise. 

Mental strength, sometimes called resilience, is a skill we can develop over time, and it helps us deal with difficult situations as they come up. It’s closely linked to mindfulness, a way of focusing on the present moment often developed through a regular meditation practice.
