What Do You Do The Most?
What activity do you do the most in a day?
When you add up all the seconds, minutes, hours, days, what activity do you do the most?
Is it working?
Sleeping?
How about breathing?
We breathe over 20000 times a day. Contrary to many other things, like working, sleeping, or eating, breathing happens without us thinking about it. It is controlled by our nervous system. And our nervous system is influenced by the events and activities that surround us.
Stressed at work? This affects your nervous system. This can affect your breathing.
Worried about the weight you are about to lift? This affects your nervous system. This can affect your breathing.
Favourite sports team just won the championship? This affects your nervous system. This can affect your breathing.
Because it is the thing we do the most, this likely means that it is an area that could be improved. Just because we do it a lot, doesn’t mean we are perfect.
The first step to improvement is awareness.
Are you a nose breather? Are you a mouth breather?
Does it change based on the activity?
