Day 4 — BREATHE 🌬️
Today is about slowing down and reconnecting through your breath.This is your moment to reset, calm your nervous system, and bring yourself back to center.
I attached a video walking you through a breathing technique I like to use.
Here’s how it works:
• Start by fully exhaling through your mouth until all of the air is out
• Then inhale slowly and deeply through your nose, filling your stomach first
• After that, take another inhale into your lungs until your chest is full
• Then take one final small inhale to completely top it off so your body is full of oxygen
• Hold your breath for as long as you comfortably can
• Slowly exhale through your mouth
• At the very end of the exhale, contract your core to fully empty your stomach and lungs to bring yourself back to square one
Then repeat.
I personally like to do this outside and ground myself while breathing to help release stagnant or negative energy, but that part isn’t necessary. The most important thing is simply taking a few intentional minutes to slow down and breathe.
This is just one example of meditation and breath work. You can also just lie on the ground for 5 minutes and focus on your thoughts and breath. It doesn't have to be complicated
Even just 5–10 minutes of this can make a huge difference. It helps fill the body with oxygen, calm the nervous system, and bring you back into the present.
