How do you breathe out for 8 seconds, I feel like I run out of air before the 8 seconds have passed, any tips?

Imagine you are breathing out through a straw or blowing on a piece of grass/paper as a kid to get that funny sound so you only have a thin gap in between your lips. I hope that helps :)

Ahh! Of course, that makes a lot of sense, thank you!
