This week’s training is a breathing exercise designed to calm your nervous system and, subsequently, your mind. Start by closing your eyes and taking a moment to relax your body consciously. Then, begin breathing for a four-count on each inhale and exhale. Over the next eleven minutes, gradually lengthen them until they are twelve seconds, if possible. However, don’t make things uncomfortable. This shouldn’t be strenuous.
Breathe calmly and quietly through your nose and from your diaphragm. Try this at least once daily when you feel somewhat on edge or tense. Below is a video with detailed instructions for everyone and a guided audio track with a beat and music for paid subscribers only. If you want that, please consider becoming one!
