Can I tell you a secret?
You just need to breathe.
Seriously… you just need to breathe correctly.
Most of us take these tiny, tight inhales all day without even realising it. And a constricted inhale does exactly what it sounds like. It creates tension, worry, that wired-and-tired feeling, and a sense that your body is always bracing for something to happen.
But a full, supported breath?
That’s where things shift.
A steady, deep breath tells your body you’re safe. It softens the noise in your mind. It helps you move through your feelings instead of getting stuck in them and it gives you space in your chest, in your head, in your day.
We go around thinking we know how to breathe correctly and the sheer fact that we don’t means we’re depriving ourselves of better health, sleep, focus and emotional balance, clarity and connection.
Most of us are breathing based on how our nervous system feels in the moment and for a lot of people, that’s a nervous system carrying old stress and unprocessed emotion.
The good news?
You can retrain it.
And it starts with one slow, honest inhale.
That’s why, in January, I’m starting The Big Breath — a 6 week course all about learning to breathe properly and using particular techniques to support different emotions.
Tools which can be used for any age.
If you’d love to join us or you think this would be an empowering gift for someone this Christmas, comment Breathe and I’ll send you the details. 🫶🏼✨
