This month is DRY JANUARY and I invite you to participate with me. We are lucky to have @Joe Reyes from BEST DAY BREWING, which for me has the best non-alcoholic beers on the market. Of course, there are many options out there but this is my favorite. If you are not a beer drinker, some wines and spirits have come out that are also non-alcoholic. Check them out. This is not just about not drinking alcoholic drinks but also about disinflamming your body and also creating new habits. Overall, you will feel and breath a lot better with less alcohol in your system.

Today's focus is on STRESS RESPONSE. When you are feeling any situation where the stressors around you, physically or mentally, are overwhelming I'd like for you to take a moment and do the following breathing pattern: 4-7-8 Breathing Technique This is a simple yet powerful method that can help calm your nervous system. 1. Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds: Focus on breathing deeply into your diaphragm, not just your chest. Feel your abdomen expand as you breathe in. 2. Hold your breath for 7 seconds: This pause allows the oxygen to circulate and helps calm your mind. 3. Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds: Make a whooshing sound as you release the air slowly. Focus on relaxing your body as you breathe out. How to Practice: - Find a comfortable seated position with your spine straight. You can close your eyes if it helps you focus. - Repeat this cycle for at least 4-5 rounds. As you get more comfortable, you can increase the number of repetitions. - Try to practice it 2-3 times a day, or whenever you feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. Why It Works: - The 4-7-8 pattern encourages full oxygen exchange, helps slow the heart rate, and promotes relaxation. - It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the part of your nervous system responsible for relaxation and recovery. This technique is simple, but it can significantly reduce stress and help you regain a sense of calm in tense situations.
