Last week, we radically altered your posture, and headspace to feel the identity you want to embody with an extra note of self talk: Acknowledge yourself - say hello (your name) in the mirror! Self-love and self-compassion are revolutionary!

The love of my life and I recently had a cute date night to go see James Cameron’s film Avatar: The Way of Water. There was a particular lesson that I hope continues to reach the masses for its simplicity and a tool we all have access to: breathe.

Own your breathe and own your life!

By elongating your exhalation to longer than 5.5sec you can down regulate your heart rate and nervous system. You are in control instead of being a product of your environment and your adrenals running the show. And the show must go on!

Protocol: Complete 3 breathes. Each inhalation extends to the end range of your lung capacity. Pause. Accompany with a sniff at the top of the breathe, with a slow exhale longer than 5.5 sec. Squeeze your pelvic floor and abs at the bottom. - ou can follow along here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpRXpNgASZK/?igshid...

1. You drastically decrease your cortisol levels and objective stress level;

2. Maximal O2 loading into your body by increasing the surface area of the alveolar in the lungs through the sniff;

3. Maximal CO2 offloading from your tissue through elongated exhalation.

4. Oxygen is the most abundant form of medicine we have access to 24/7!

**This technique was used by the Avatar’s to extend their time under water by controlling their internal nervous system….just don’t try this technique underwater! hahaha

Thank you for tuning in to read and taking away a tool to improve your quality of life and make health habit! 💪🏼🙂
