Instant feel better: the breathing exercise

Most people don’t know how to breathe. Say what? Most people don’t know how to breathe! It’s shocking really as oxygen is the single most important element for good health.

Let’s take a closer look. The foundation of health is a healthy bloodstream, the system that transports nutrients and oxygen to the cells in your body. Breathing controls the oxygenation of the cells and also the flow of lymph fluid; the body’s sewage system.

The cells take oxygen and nutrients they need and dumps the toxins. Dead cells, blood proteins, and other toxic material are removed by the lymph system. And the lymph system is activated by deep breathing.

It’s the reason that health systems like yoga are so focused on healthy breathing. There’s nothing like it to clean your body. It also plays a major role in causing cells to become cancerous.

So here’s what you do:

Inhale/breathe in for 7 seconds
Hold your breath for 28 seconds
Breathe out slowly for 14 seconds

Repeat 10 times each session.

See the ratio? It’s 1 – 4 – 2.

Start breathing in through your nose from deep in your abdomen. But never strain yourself. See how many seconds you can build up to by slowly developing your lung capacity.

There is no food or vitamin pill in the world that can do for you what healthy breathing can do!

How to get you energized for completing all your tasks

Have you ever said to yourself: “Today I’m going to do XYZ”, and you get yourself ready, and then get yourself ready, and then get yourself ready... but you never actually do it? Raise your hand if this sounds slightly familiar.

This has to do with the ‘law of diminishing intent’: the longer you wait to implement an idea, the less enthusiasm you’ll have for it.

The real key to success depends on how much ‘do-power’ you have. You’ll be successful once you do, and continue to do, more than the average person.

Knowledge is only potential power. Action is temporarily power. Activity is real power; action repeated until you get what you want.

Now, the number one factor that defines our level of activity is ‘energy’. Get more energy and you’ll have more activity. Makes sense?

There are plenty of things you can do to get more energy. Here’s two:

1. Feed your tongue
Go eat a banana. Here’s what your tongue will tell you: “This is a great food resource. One is plenty.” Here’s what it will tell you if you eat a hamburger: “There’s not enough resources. Let’s eat another.” Listen to your tongue. Eat the food that’s healthy and gives you energy.

2. Drink enough water
The majority of all people are constantly dehydrated. Your blood needs water to circulate nutrients. Once your blood doesn’t have enough water, it draws the water from your organs. What’s your biggest organ? Exactly; your skin (dudes, I know what you were thinking). What happens if your skin doesn’t have enough water? Ladies, I hear you. Cheers!
