Just Fit In A Little Bit

Train yourself to take long, slow, deep breaths through the nose whenever you can just do a few breaths. 

Put little post-it notes everywhere or schedule it on your phone. “Mini & frequent” deep breathing centers yourself and massages the vagus nerve, calming your nervous system. 

Regular, longer breathing sessions are great, but real long-term benefits come when breathing long, slow, and deeply through your nose is second-nature, a frequent habit.

 

Breathe when you are:

  • in the car at a light

  • on the toilet

  • doing laundry

  • listening to someone

  • walking the dog

  • reading a book

  • cooking

  • watching tv

  • doing emails

  • anytime

  • a lot
