I just did a 10 min KZbin guided session by headfulness. What's wrong with doing more than 8 breath cycles?

[@ethimself5064]

Does this also have something to do with raising one's nitric oxide levels?

Is it advisable to do this 4-7-8 breathing exercise while doing other tasks, like adult coloring? ... or should it be before?
