"Here’s what happened when I stopped breathing"

{NAME},  Here’s a quick riddle: What do you and Navy SEALS have in common? Here’s a hint: You do it every single day, but probably rarely think about it.  The answer to this riddle could be the key to reduced stress, heightened concentration, and even a boosted immune system. And the answer is... BREATHING. Now, I don’t mean regular inhaling and exhaling… But there’s a special TYPE of breathing that provides a variety of powerful health benefits. It’s called boxed breathing — This technique is learned by Navy SEALS, nurses, and athletes alike to help keep calm and focused in stressful situations. And it actually can help regulate your nervous system, lower stress levels, and even support healthy blood pressure...1 Which is why I practice boxed breathing each morning. Yes, every morning! Because guess what? If you skip your boxed breathing practice, you'll quickly notice your mind feels less calm and less sharp than it usually does. So if you’d like to relax your mind, energize your body, and improve your focus… I recommend you practice boxed breathing as well. Here’s how you do it: Boxed Breathing Technique - Keep your eyes closed. Inhale slowly for 4 seconds. - Hold your breath for 4 seconds. Do not clench your mouth or eyes. Keep your face relaxed. - Slowly exhale for 4 seconds. - Repeat the above steps at least 4 times. Note: In addition to the morning, you can practice this throughout the day if you start feeling anxious or overwhelmed. This technique takes only about a minute… But it can set you up for a more clear, calm, and collected mind for the rest of the day. And while this may not make you a qualified Navy SEAL… It can be a meaningful tool to help you lead a more focused life. So keep breathing, ... and enjoy the rest of your week!

Have you heard of Wim Hoff AKA “The Ice Man?” This 62-year-old Dutchman learned how to regulate his core body temperatures, even in below-freezing temperatures — Like when he ran an entire marathon in -4 °F in just a pair of shorts... or stayed submerged in an ice bath for nearly 2 hours. Shockingly, for both these events, he kept his core temperature near a healthy 98.6 °F. 2 His secret? Deep breathing! It just goes to show how powerful breathing can be for your ENTIRE body. And while I don’t recommend you wear shorts in freezing temperatures to prove it… Boxed breathing can be an easy, but extremely powerful tool for sharpening and rejuvenating your mind. Just remember, 1… 2… 3… 4… Reduced stress and clearer focus await. SOURCES 1. How Box Breathing Can Help You Destress. The Cleveland Clinic Health Essentials. 2. Kox M, van Eijk L, Zwaag J et al.
