You might laugh and wonder why anyone needs to focus on breathing. It’s automatic, after all.
But consider this: imagine driving an automatic car while distracted, scrolling through your phone. Suddenly, you look up and see the car heading downhill. You’d take control immediately, right?
Now, imagine never breaking out of that distraction. The car would crash.
The same thing happens if you don’t pay attention to your breathing.
Constant distractions would keep you busy until one day you meet breathlessness or anxiety, and you realize, You have no control over your breathing.
Automatic breathing keeps you alive by supplying oxygen and removing waste. Conscious breathing, however, enhances awareness in each moment.
When stressed, taking a deep breath can make you feel better, one minute deep breathing sparks new ideas. It’s not a miracle; it’s how the body works.
Conscious breathing improves overall body performance by aligning the mind and body.
When your body functions well, you feel happier.
This connection explains why running on a treadmill, meditating, trekking, praying or engaging in competitive sports makes you feel good—they all require conscious breathing.
Why not incorporate more life into your daily routine?
Why not make Conscious living a lifestyle? After all, breathing keeps us plunged in to life.
