I used to do this ALL the time without even realizing it. Especially when I was stressed, focused, or really in my head. Once I started paying attention, I began catching myself doing it more and more. And that’s where the work starts. 👀 You can’t change a breathing pattern you don’t notice. For me, intentional breathing practices and breath holds have helped me become more aware of what my breath is doing instead of just letting it happen on autopilot. And when I catch myself holding my breath now, I’ll simply pause, take a gentle inhale, and make the exhale longer. 🌬️ Nothing complicated. Just a little reminder to my body and brain: hey, I’m paying attention. The more you practice noticing and intentionally changing your breath throughout the day, the more natural it can become over time. It takes time. It takes practice. And honestly, it’s not always easy. 🩵 It’s called breathWORK for a reason. 😂 So tell me… do YOU catch yourself holding your breath? 👇🏼 And if you do, when do you notice it happening most? 👀
