Box breathing:
You can inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth (pursed lips) for several rounds and then inhaling and exhaling through only the nose for the next several rounds. Exhaling through the mouth is better when your practice goal is to lessen Stress and Anxiety.
Take three deep cleansing breaths into the nose out to the mouth.
• Inhale: Slowly inhale for a count of four visualizing the breath filling your lungs and diaphragm.
• Hold: Hold your breath for a count of four.
• Exhale: Slowly exhale for a count of four, visualizing the breath leaving your lungs and diaphragm.
• Hold: Hold your breath out for a count of four.
• Repeat: Repeat cycle for several rounds.

It's that easy!
