I'm inviting you to try the breathwork challenge.


Start each morning with this simple 8-12 minute breathing exercise that will clear your mind, jumpstart your day and can ultimately change your life.


"The presence of oxygen is the absence of disease" - Gary Brecka


Breathing is scientifically linked to:

  1. Improved sleep

  2. Reduced anxiety

  3. Reduced stress

  4. Boost mood

  5. Improve energy

  6. Improve immunity

  7. Elevated emotions

  8. Better energy

  9. Improve focus and concentration


Breathwork Benefits:

🌬 Helps reduce mental and physical stress

🌬 Relaxes the nervous system

🌬 Improves mood

I encourage you to research Gary Brecka and Wim Hof, also known as The Iceman. They have been fundamental in my learning process and research of this life-changing excercise.


Once you start to incorporate breathwork, it will be something you won't want to miss.


HOW TO DO IT


  1. NEVER DO THIS WHILE DRIVING OR STANDING.

  2. Sit or lie down comfortably on a flat surface.

  3. Place one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach.

  4. Slowly inhale through your nose. Feel your stomach push against your hand as you breathe in.

  5. Exhale through your mouth, allowing your stomach to relax just as you do.

  6. Repeat these steps 3 times and you're ready to start.


WEEK ONE


  1. Start with 5 obnoxiously deep breaths.

  2. At the end of breath 5, exhale comfortably and try to hold your breath for 30 seconds (it's ok if you can't make it 30).

  3. Then inhale as deep as possible.

  4. At the end of the inhale, hold your breath for 30 seconds. (Or as long as you comfortably can if you can't make it 30)

  5. Then exhale.

  6. Start over at #1 with 5 obnoxiously deep breaths.

  7. REPEAT THIS SEQUENCE 3 TIMES.


WEEK TWO


Add 5 breaths to each round, aiming for 3 rounds of 10 deep breaths.


WEEK THREE


Add 5 more breaths to each round, aiming for 3 rounds of 15 deep breaths.


WEEK FOUR +


Add 15 more breaths to each round, aiming for 3 rounds of 30 deep breaths.
