If you can't take a four beat breath, start on the second beat or even the third beat.  However, It is important that you learn to breath with the stomach firm. Keep working on it until you can do all four steps. If you still find it too diifficult or confusing, just start the exercises on step 2 or 3 with the slow NG breath through the nose.
