DAY 5 - Breathwork for new Energy

What to Try:
Try the 4-7-8 Breathing technique:

Inhale for 4 seconds, then hold your breath for 7 and exhale for 8 seconds.

This simple technique activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes calm and focus while reducing stress.

How to Implement It:

• Find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably.

• Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of 4 seconds.

• Hold your breath gently, counting to 7.

• Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds.

• Repeat for 3-minutes.

Why It Works:
This breathing technique promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers your stress levels and helps you focus. Research in neuroscience shows that slow, deep breathing increases the flow of oxygen to the brain, which helps improve cognitive function and mental clarity. This technique also helps regulate the body’s fight-or-flight response, creating a calmer, more productive mindset.
