Did you think I had forgotten to write?
Well, no, I just had a full, intense, and engaging day today, although not very productive for the breathing exercises I committed to follow for 8 consecutive days.
And indeed, that’s exactly what I want to talk to you about today: breathing exercises, how not to do them!
Because, even though this weekend has been wonderful for me (probably these exercises are stirring things up for the law of attraction), I didn’t have my 40 minutes of time to dedicate to the breathing technique until evening, just after eating, with a cough and tiredness after spending 2 full days outdoors hiking in nature and doing pole dance all Sunday.
I just finished doing them, and compared to usual, the breaths were much less uniform than usual; I could mainly breathe from the chest, very little from the abdomen, although I tried to focus on that area, my body just didn’t want to cooperate.
At times, I thought of stopping and giving up, but I persevered only because I am starting to feel the benefits, especially mentally.
When one focuses on the breath, indeed, it’s impossible to get caught up in anxiety, melancholy, and thoughts flow more clearly.
Today, however, I also felt the baked potatoes with salmon blocking the space available, and a slight cough appearing at least every 5 minutes hindering concentration.
I certainly wonder why this cough appeared now, after spending a day in nature and after so many breathing exercises.
I don’t know why, but I want to hope it’s some sort of detox where you have to feel a little bad before feeling good.
Meanwhile, tomorrow I will commit to doing the exercises in the morning as soon as I wake up (and probably after taking cough syrup).
However, I’ll let you admire the wonderful places I saw yesterday in Portuguese nature, I hope you like them, and perhaps from the photos, you’ll also understand why I have a cough today.
Tune in!
