General Health & Stress

Breathing through your nose is the default setting for everyday activities.

Without realising it, many people mouth breathe for a considerable amount of the day. This is compounded if your work demands many hours of speaking.

Learning to master the ability to change your state at any given moment starts with a single breath. Breathing is the bridge between your physical health and your mental health. All of us experience stress daily from personal and professional factors. We cannot reduce or get rid of many things that create feelings of stress. We CAN manage how we respond. We need to increase our stress tolerance. When we can think calmly and clearly, we are better able to respond optimally. Then we are less likely to snap at family members and make better decisions in the workplace.
