The Proof That Breathwork Works 🫁

🔥

Yesterday I got really, really challenged, I was working, and I just saw a message popping up on my phone from somebody asking why I was leaving the community while I she was working one-on-one with me as a coach. This felt really strange because I didn't leave the community. So then she said, "Ok, then maybe you should have a look and change your password quickly."

So I tried changing my password, you guessed it, "wrong current password". And I don't forget my passwords because I'm really strict with passwords, and I save them in a password manager. Then I went to my email, which was connected to my Skool, and wanted to change the password quickly. Once again, wrong current password....

And then it struck me. I thought, "Oh no, I've been hacked." While I was typing to this coach in Skool on the phone, I saw all messages double, which makes me believe that there was another person reading with us on another device..

Quickly, I was going through all my accounts, Facebook. Same story: unable to change the password because the current password is not correct. So this person was already in 3 of my accounts.

But instead of flipping out, I stayed pretty calm, and I told myself, "Okay, this account is not connected to your bank account, so we're good for now. Let's solve this." So I told my employer that I need some time because of this private situation that I need to fix ASAP, and I used AI to help me guide through all the steps I needed to do, and somehow I was very lucky with my mailbox provider that I had a parent account so I could overwrite the password for my mailbox there, and after I locked this person out, I added two-factor authentication. And slowly but surely, I was able to recover all the other accounts. It took me four hours to get everything back to how it was.

I always had strong passwords, but there is one thing I didn't do out of laziness, and that was two-factor authentication. Now everything is secured with two-factor authentication.

The reason I'm telling this is because if this would have happened to me two years ago, I would have been completely out of my mind and panicked and whatever. 🤯 Now, yes, I felt adrenaline, and it was tense because it felt like a race against the clock, I stayed amazingly calm. Even my wife told me that she said you handled this so calmly and that she was proud of me. 🥺

And this shows me that practicing breathwork consistently two times a day really makes you resilient for the moments you really need it. 🫁 💪

I hope at least one of you gets some value out of this story 🙏

Have a Great day! Breathe well 🌿
