#122 - Bye, Bye Stress in 1 Minute.

Have you ever been struck with panic, anxiety, stress, where when it happens, you not only feel sick to your stomach, but you're almost paralyzed where you can't do anything? And if you're like me, you've not only suffered this, suffered from this for years, but it may have even gotten worse over time. You know, I remember January of this year where I had one of the worst New Year's Day ever. New Year's Eve. And I can tell you the thing that solved it, that said bye-bye stress, was what we're going to talk about today. It's called diaphragmatic breathing. It's simple and it takes less than 1 minute. It's part of the yoga culture. I learned this 30 years ago and I use it to this day, 30 years later at age 50. And I think it was going to give you a sense of calm, empowerment, and strength. That you can't find in any other tool. And best of all, it's completely free. So if that sounds good, let's start right now. Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise, and I'm known as the number one weight loss strategist to the world's busiest celebrities. I'm also a multiple New York Times bestselling diet author with over 30 books and 12 million fans. You may have seen my work with Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian, Tyra Banks, Kelly Clarkson, or even Dr. Oz. My career started in my early 20s because I was addicted to sugar, carbs, and salty snacks, and experts told me to simply count calories to get control. They were wrong. My passion to get radical control over hunger has led me to find science-proven ways to create zero hunger and help my clients drop 2 pounds each day. And I know I can help you too. Welcome to the Zero Hunger Revolution. Well, welcome to the show, guys. It's Thursday, it's March 25th, 2021. Uh, I'm Jorge, and welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show. This is the number one podcast to help you overcome your cravings for sugar, carbs, salty snack foods, And on today's show, we're going to be talking about what I call thinking fit. It's really behavioral modification tools. That's kind of what I dedicate Thursdays to that aren't about eating fit. I'm not going to talk about what to be ingesting, what to be putting in our mouths, what can turn off hunger, because half the battle is in the mind. It's mental. Um, and especially if you crave sugar and carbs, I can tell you half the battle is to help soothe yourself from stress. So on today's show, we're going to be talking about a simple way to to breathe, uh, that's diaphragmatic, that in less than a minute will give you a sense of incredible calm. It'll take a stress that's at a 10 and drop it down to a 2, for example. It may be different for you. So let's get started in just a minute, but first I have to give thanks to our sponsors.

So I hope this sounds good to you guys. Please check it out. With that said, if you guys are ready to say bye-bye to stress, let's get started with the actual how to do it right now. All right guys, let's make this happen. Bye-bye stress. Imagine in one minute being able to eliminate stress. For you, it may be a fear, a kind of panic energy you may have in your body because of a financial stress. It could be an emotional stress. It could be a depression. Um, this is the tool I use. I've been using this for 30 years since I was 20. I learned it from Dr. Andy Weil, uh, an integrative health expert. And I can tell you it works every single time. It is the base of yoga, which is all about connecting the body, the mind to the body. And I believe connecting to a source power. That can give you power of calm energy. Because when you connect to a source power that's greater than you, it's powerful because it gives you this inner strength that gives you calm, confident energy. So I'll give you an example. I use this every single morning upon rising. I usually do it, um, when I'm looking at the sunrise because I love sunrise. There's nothing better than doing this breathing, this diaphragmatic breathing I'm going to take you through upon rising and doing it in sync with the sun rising. If you get a chance to do that tomorrow morning, do it. I do this at night, so use this this evening before you go to bed. If you're listening to me right now and you're like stressed out because you're single, it's COVID, you have taxes around the corner, whatever the stress is, you have teenagers like me, they're going to college soon, and you're like, oh man, uh, the stress will dissolve We're going to hold our breath for 7 seconds. We're going to inhale for 4. So it starts off with 4 seconds of in through the nose. I'll walk you through the 3 prompts. You hold it for 7, and when you hold it for 7, that's when you visualize the stress, the image. And as you hold it, your belly's out, right? And then when you exhale the stress out, you push the belly in and push the stress out. It's that simple. The 3 prompts are easy. You want to take your shoulders— if you're watching this on, uh, on thezerohungerplan.com for members, shoulders are back. For anyone on the podcast, just listen to me right now. Give me your undivided attention, please, so you don't really miss anything. Listen right now, guys. I need you to listen. So shoulders back, that's all you have to do. That's prompt 1. Shoulders back will give you your chest out, give you a great proper spine. In yoga, this is a very important simple posture. This is actually a yoga posture. Shoulders shoulders back. Just hold. This is how we should walk. This is how you should stand. This is how you should sit. I'm sitting right now. You should sit like this always. You can take a $4 chair, and because of this posture, you now have a $3,000 kind of value. Rather than spending it on a $3,000 chair and having bad posture or slouching, you use this simple shoulders back prompt one. And you instantly take any cheap chair and make— doesn't matter, you make it irrelevant because your body is— I mean, it is invaluable. It's not worth $3,000, it's so much more than that. But now you have a $3,000 effect simply by pushing your shoulders back. So hold the shoulders back, that's prompt 1, like I said. Prompt 2 is breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth. In through the nose, out through the mouth. The reason we breathe in through the nose is to warm the air going into the lungs, also to filter the air with the hairs that are inside of our nose all throughout the lining. So you want to do that. Now, if you are like some celebrities I've worked with and you cannot breathe inward, where you breathe in, it just doesn't happen, you try and try and you're literally inflamed, to have a proper breath, you must clean your nose with a product called Xylitol. I've been doing it for 17 years as I had this very problem, and I do it in a spray every day. I also do it quarterly in a liquid kind of neti pot, but not with saline solution and not just water. It's not even just warm water. It's xylitol water, a xylitol spray. That's what— with an X. There's a brand I love, um, it's called Clear. So check them out, Clear. They're on Amazon, they're everywhere. Uh, and you can spray the nose with that. It'll help reduce the inflammation. It'll help you breathe better. In through the nose. You don't want to just give up on the nose and out through the mouth and in through the mouth. You don't want that. That's not healthy. So prompt number 2, in through the nose, out through the mouth. And then the final prompt is the actual sequence. It's 4 seconds in, 7 seconds hold, 8 seconds out. So with that said, I'm going to walk you through this right now. We're going to do it together 4 simple times. It'll take less than a minute. And, uh, gauge your stress right now, 0 to 10, where are you? Think of a number, 7 or 8, probably for most of us, right? Wherever that is for you, make a mental note. And let's see how you feel in about a minute. So with that said, deep breath in for 4 seconds right now. Follow along. Hold for 7. Hold. Tummy is out, belly's out. Hold, hold, hold. All right, good job. And exhale for 8. Beautiful. Let's do 3 more. Deep breath in for 4 seconds. Hold for 7. Belly's out. Hold, hold. When you're inhaling, that belly gets big. Hold. Good job. And exhale for 8. Out through the mouth. Beautiful. Exhale. Deep breath in for 4. Hold for 7. Hold tight. Visualize that stress. It's okay to have it in your mind's eye right now. Exhale it out though. Get rid of it right now. Great job. Last one. Deep breath in. Hold for 7. Hold it right there. And exhale out for 8. Great job. How do you feel? I mean, I feel great myself. It's like having a glass of wine, uh, for free. We all like wine, um, and it's free. I can tell you right now, 0 to 10, if I was a 6 a minute ago, I'm definitely a 2 right now, maybe a 1. My heart rate is lower. You can use this before you do a lecture, a talk. If you have to do a Zoom meeting and you're panicked out of your mind, you're like, oh God, uh, it could be anything that causes stress in your life. This is how we say bye-bye stress. Really, it releases that stress. So I want you to, to write me, let me know how this worked right now. Email me at Jorge at Jorge Cruise Show. Show.com. That's Jorge, @JorgeCruiseShow.com.
