Your performance is connected with your breath.

Hey ,

Take a breather – it’s really what you need.

But 80% of people breathe incorrectly.

Seems odd, right? But that’s the fact.

More importantly, breathing isn’t just limited to keeping us alive but also impacts our energy levels, performance, decision making, and overall health.

How to know whether you are breathing wrong?

But what makes us breathe incorrectly in first place?

Well, here’s the list:

• Stress and Tension: The relentless pressure of entrepreneurship can cause us to hold tension in our bodies, leading to shallow, chest-only breathing.

• Sedentary Lifestyle: Prolonged periods of sitting at desks or in meetings can restrict the movement of the diaphragm, inhibiting full, deep breathing.

• Lack of Awareness: Many of us simply aren't aware of our breathing patterns or the profound impact they have on their well-being.

But we can’t just run away from stress or sedentary lifestyle, because our work demands it.

So, what’s the solution?

Following some pretty easy ACTIONABLE tips that can help:

1. Rhythmic Breathing: Inhale slowly for 4 counts, hold for 3, exhale deeply for 6.

2. Humming: Take short breaks to hum softly, which stimulates the vagus nerve and promotes relaxation.

3. Abdominal Massage: Massage your abdomen gently in circular motions to encourage diaphragmatic movement and deeper breathing.

4. Nostril Breathing: Practice alternate nostril breathing to balance energy levels and calm the mind.

5. Color Visualization: During deep breaths, visualize inhaling a calming color and exhaling any tension or stress as a darker color.

6. Food Habits: Opt for fresh, whole foods to ease inflammation and support clear breathing.

But we founders want more, something that can benefit us further, right?

Well, a very SIMPLE yet EFFECTIVE ancient practice has got us covered:

Sun Piercing Breath (or Surya Bhedana).

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate such cool names of the practices.

So, Surya Bhedana provides benefits such as:

• Increased Energy: Surya Bhedana stimulates the body's energy systems, leaving you feeling invigorated and revitalized.

• Enhanced Focus: The rhythmic breathing pattern of Surya Bhedana calms the mind and enhances concentration, improving your ability to stay focused and attentive.

• Reduced Stress: By activating the sympathetic nervous system, Surya Bhedana helps to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of calm and well-being.

Now a million-dollar question, how to perform it?
