And it makes me think of how many things I cut short in my life because I couldn't handle that first 2 minutes. It surprised me how resilient my body is, how resilient my mind is, and how simply focusing on your breath— like, there's nothing mystical and magical happening here. This isn't a secret breath technique. This is just paying attention to how you breathe and being very purposeful with each breath you take. And how much that can help you and benefit you in your life, especially in the most difficult moments. And I was shocked at how quickly learning that had instant results.
