Did you know that in as little as one minute of focused breathing it’s possible to completely clear the bloodstream of the stress hormone cortisol?! 😱
Today is — a reminder that while stress is part of life, we have powerful tools to manage it effectively. One of the simplest and most transformative tools?
Breathwork.
When stress hits, our breathing often becomes shallow and rapid, which can keep us in a cycle of tension. But with mindful breathwork, we can calm the nervous system, shift out of "fight or flight," and return to a state of balance.
Here’s a quick technique to try today:
✅ Take a deep breath in through your nose for 4 counts, letting your belly rise.
✅ Hold your breath for 4 counts.
✅ Exhale slowly through your mouth for 6 counts, releasing any tension.
✅ Do this 3-5 times, and you’ll feel more grounded and centred.
