I see a lot of fellow breathwork coaches talk about "Nervous System Regulation", "Trauma Release" or "Healing" when they talk about breathwork. And I know that breathwork can be used to do all of that and that breathwork still is underestimated what it can do in the medical world to help people.. But that is not where it stops.. I think there is a whole layer of benefits on top of that! After all the healing and regulation has been done, breathwork can be used to improve ourselves as people. 📈 To start with the physical health: doing breathwork on a daily basis improves your lung strength, it massages your organs and you can literally cleanse your body and improve your cardiovascular health. 🫀 It is proven that people who practice breathwork regularly, on average live longer than people who don't.. 💪 But if we also have a look at how breathwork can help us to improve our quality of lives and how it can help us to achieve our goals, we see that breathwork can add another layer in which we can work on ourselves: - By practicing breathwork on a daily basis, we can train ourselves to sit still and focus on just one thing, the breath. Everyone (except maybe monks or real yogi's) get's distracted and their mind wanders off... But this is where we can really train our focus. By pulling our attention back to our breath every time we notice we drift off, we train our attention to go back to what we were focusing on: the breath. and the more we do this, the better we get at it. And soon we notice that in everyday tasks, it becomes easier to lock-in and focus on your task 🔍 - The second thing is, we can train to sit with discomfort. Breathwork is not always pretty and peaceful. sometimes it is a struggle, we can feel restless and all we want to do is get back up and start doing something else. When we sit on our meditation cushion and we feel little aches and pains in the lower back or the hips, we can use this as an excuse to get up and stop with the breathwork session. But we can train something really important here. If we decide to sit through it, we can train ourselves that we not always have to flee discomfort and find some comfort in it. I often feel amazing after a breathwork session where I felt restless and uncomfortable but I sat through it. And to make the link to everyday situations, for me it is way easier now, to go through uncomfortable situations, without trying to flee from it - getting more done! 💪

But here is why... In this podcast he is talking about friction and the "ugly side" of growth. That growing as a person does not mean that it is always pretty and we should always be feeling good about it. If we tie this to breathwork, I do at least 1 Breathwork session a day - Usually 2, but if I work 12-hour shifts then when I come home I want to go to bed immediately because I want to have enough rest. But those breathwork sessions are also not always nice and peaceful, sometimes I am struggling too, making sure I stay seated and focus on the practice, sometimes I am very restless during breathwork.. But I think that is exactly where the growth happens, it happens when we have friction, especially with ourselves. Not feeling perfectly fine, but being okay with that and sit through it. I know David Goggins can make it sound really dark, but it is true what he says and I think everybody could apply his mindset in his or her own way 💪 And another reason I share it is because yeah, I was traveling a lot this weekend and listening to this podcast and I thought: "Hey another one I can share in the Inspiration Monday Post!" sometimes it is also just as simple as that 😝 Here it is 👇 Have a great week! Peace.

Most people when they have a goal in mind they are only focusing on that goal which often will be reached sometime in the future and this can feel like a big leap, or very overwhelming, sometimes it can even feel unreachable.. But what if we stop focusing on that end-goal only, and we take small steps everyday, everyday to get 1% better? Example: For me, I want to build this Breathwork Community into something great! And I am not only talking about breathwork. Breathwork is the vehicle, but I want to build a Coaching Empire around Habits, Mindset and Breathwork. I want to stand out and become the embodiment of the whole program that I am building. I see myself having hundreds of thousands subscribers on Youtube, a very big and engaging Skool community, maybe write my own books... You get it. But when I think of this goal now, this feels so extremely far away. So what I focus on instead, are small actions everyday that gets met closer to that goal - Every day getting 1% better than the day before: - Reading Books about breathwork, the nervous system, habits and mindset - Working on my offer. - Checking the stats on Youtube and Instagram and see where I can improve - Listening to podcasts that deepen my knowledge - Deepening my own breathwork practices - Keep working on my own mindset - Push myself a little further every time - etc... These actions may feel small in the moment, but after years they stack up. I was watching a guy on youtube lately and his first video was 20 years ago, just some simple video, no edits, just him with a marker explaining stuff on a whiteboard. Now he has 14.5 million subscribers! That is because he kept doing the work everyday and played the long game. And this is why I think focusing on getting 1% better everyday is so important and so underestimated. So what is your 1% everyday? Let us Know in the comments below👇
