SHUT YOUR MOUTH. That's what the book said. I have been learning about breathing properly over the past five years, and a major factor in health and wellbeing is to transition from mouth breathing to the far superior, nose breathing.

How do I know I have successfully made the transition? During my morning breathwork exercises, I used to gamble on if my nose would be free. Wether or not there was a restriction in the air ways leading from my nose to my lungs, would determine the type of breathwork exercise I did. At some point over the last year, this morning decision making disappeared. Now I just breath through my nose and choose to breath through my mouth if the exercise requires it. The air ways are always free to take air in and out as I see fit.

So what it the lesson here? Well, one... If your sitting there breathing through your mouth at the desk you have a higher probability of disease. But more importantly, it has proven to me that deferred gratification pays it's dividends. Five years ago when I started out on this magical breathwork journey, all bunged up trying to do the simplest of breathwork exercises, did I think I would be sitting here each morning. Taking in the deepest of breaths each morning through my nose? I did not, but here I am writing this message singing my praises as always.

So, set your tactical goals. Sort out the noise that lays before you, but also... Have some strategic goals at play. Because years role round every year or so. And you might be missing out on unlocking some of life's greatest achievements. Achievements that that years to cultivate.

I'm Greatful for; This beautiful nose of mine. Take in as much air as you can you fancy thing on the front of my face. I trust you will filter out diseases, low my heart rate, improve endurance and bring me peace in all endeavours.

Doing a breathing exercises every morning. Ten minutes to half and hour. Without fail. Change your life.
