Make a breath practice the most fundamental thing you do for yourself, as it’s a powerful tool for self-optimization and personal growth.
Practice being quietly aware and conscious of your breath for 2, 5, or even 10 minutes daily, as this simple practice is profoundly insightful because your breath is connected to everything.
Learn to manipulate your breath to optimize your state, whether to bring yourself more present or to downshift and relax.
Choose to approach every experience, even repetitive ones like a workout or job, as if seeing it for the first time, which is a powerful act of learning and self-actualization.
Actively work towards not taking anything personally, understanding that others’ actions are often an exacerbation of their own internal workings, not directed at you.
To function at your highest level, shut out external distractions and fully immerse yourself in your current environment and conversation, rather than thinking about future tasks.
Shift your focus from external cues (like phones or heart rate monitors) to internal understanding, starting with your breath, to truly grasp how you feel.
When feeling overwhelmed by stress, use your breath to bring yourself back to the present and stop the physiological ramifications of that stress.
Cultivate control over your breath to use it as a ‘shield’ against the constant noise and inputs of a busy environment, helping you survive and thrive.
In modern, non-natural environments, employ breathing as a ‘hack’ to manipulate your internal state and listen to your environment, allowing you to be present.
Engage in self-exploration by gaining control of your breath, understanding it, and experimenting with how it impacts your mood and state.
Actively work to dismantle beliefs that you’ve boxed yourself into, choosing to prioritize learning and seeing things anew over rigid adherence to existing beliefs.
