Meditation or Breathwork for dealing with stress and anxiety?

Let's break down the benefits of both:

Meditation Benefits:
• Promotes self-awareness
• Improves attention span
• Helps reduce memory loss
• May lower biological age
• Improves REM sleep by boosting melatonin

Breathwork Benefits:
• Less overwhelming for beginners
• More enjoyable (gives you something to focus on)
• Provides almost immediate stress relief
• Easier to follow and feel confident about
• Physical health benefits for diaphragm and lungs
• Lowers blood pressure
• Corrects bad breathing patterns
• Increases breath awareness in daily life

What's your experience? Meditation, breathwork, or both? 🤔

I taped my mouth shut during sleep for 60 days and learnt the following…

I used to wake up with a dry mouth, unrested like I had not slept a wink… and I’d go to the toilet 1 to 2x a night.

Do any of these sound familiar?

1. Dry mouth after waking
2. Glass of water beside the bed
3. Had to go toilet in the night
4. Unrested after waking
5. Snoring (you’ve probably been reminded many times)
6. Bad breath (might have to ask your other half on this one)

What actually happened after 60 days… watch the video and find out.

Some of the benefits of mouth taping are?

1. Breathing nasally, filters allergens, pathogens, dust. Your mouth sucks at this.
2. Can help with reducing snoring.
3. You don’t feel like you need to sip on that glass of water multiple times a night.
4. Warms the air as it enters your lungs. This is super important as it opens the airways meaning you breathe more freely. When you breathe through your mouth, your airways constrict and oxygen is not transported into your bloodstream as easily as they could be when breathing nasally.
5. Wake up feeling refreshed and ready to own the day!

If you have any questions or concerns about mouth taping, let me know. For most people it’s fine, but there are times when I would not suggest it.

You train your physical body for strength, bigger muscles, more power, endurance, but do you train your diaphragm? It’s the forgotten muscle we use 22,000 a day!

Remember that feeling when you're running up that big hill in town, and you're worried all those drivers will think you're unfit? You reach the top, breathing out of control.

Now if you train your diaphragm for depth and rate you are going to smash that hill next time, and once you reach the top you’ll keep going. Bonus, your ego will thank you.

So, how can you train your diaphragm?

Step 1: Lie down, feet in a V or up a wall. This helps push your back into the ground.

Step 2: Place your hands under your rib cage, thumbs wrapping around towards your back.

Step 3: Inhale for 6 seconds through your nose. Slow and deep. Rush it, and you'll breathe into your upper chest. Picture your diaphragm pulling up under your rib cage.

Step 4: Exhale for 8 seconds. Repeat for 10 breaths 3 x per day.

You know you’ve cracked it, when you feel your diaphragm pushing into the ground! And remember it takes a 1000 times to get good at something!

Feeling overwhelmed or like you’ve got the attention span of a gold fish?

Not sure where we went wrong, but we fill our days with multiple tasks and occasionally it can get our brains in a twist where we don't know where to start.

The following box breathing exercise can be done in 60 seconds… if you’ve got longer 5 minutes is great!

Inhale through the nose: 4 seconds
Hold: 4 seconds
Exhale through the nose or mouth: 4 seconds
Hold: 4 seconds.

If this is your first time doing box breathing the 4 second hold after the inhale can feel slightly stressful. Keep going and your body will adapt!

If you’re feeling unmotivated or have a lack of energy, this simple breathing exercise can get you back on track in just a few minutes.

Power breathing aka WHM is an easy to do breathing exercise to shift your mental state from unmotivated to an energized and focused state!

How do you do it?

Step 1: Find a quiet place. Best to do this one lying down. Don’t be an idiot and do it near water!!

Step 2: Inhale for 4 seconds through the nose deep into the diaphragm (belly if you want to call it that).

Step 3: Exhale for 4 seconds through the mouth. This is not a forced exhale. Just let it happen.

Step 4: After 30 breaths hold your breath on the exhale for 1 minute.

Step 5: If you’re still feeling a sack of potatoes repeat 2-3 times.

Slow down to speed up

Tip

When going for a light jog try to breathe entirely nasally. Doing this will help to build your CO2 tolerance which in turn will help when you need to put the gas down and go hard.

If you find yourself breathing heavy and fast during your jog, you’re going too hard and need to slow down. This was what I used to do and this is what I see a lot of runners doing.

If running up a hill, try to keep your breath under control. Move from breathing nasally to inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.

If you have to inhale through your mouth, slow down. You might even need to walk

When you're feeling stressed 😫, we're often told to meditate or take deep breaths (which actually can make it worse, by the way 😬). But for most people, this is the exact opposite of what you should be doing.

Tip 💡:

I've found it's best to create controlled stress through exercise - whatever that looks like for you 💪. For me, I mix it up between running 🏃‍♂️, exercises on my deck 🏋️‍♂️, and surfing 🏄‍♂️.

After this, you'll find it way easier to enter a state of calm 😌 and kick in that parasympathetic nervous system. You'll sleep better 💤 and just be a better person to be around! 😊

Try to do one thing in nature every day!! We don’t need all the science to tell us this… we’ve known it for since the day we were born.

Take my 8 month old kid, when she is in nature at the beach, in the bush… she’s in her element. Exploring everything she can.

As an adult for some silly reason we stop exploring because all the BS life throws at us.

I know last year, I didn’t spend enough time exploring. This year I plan to spend more time in nature, even if it's just 20 minutes a day at home walking around with my daughter in the backpack.

Managed to get out for a short trail run this morning with my sister in the local hills. Even surprised myself by running a good portion of it, apart from the steeper hills.

It was the first day I felt like the CO2 tolerance training had paid off.

I wasn’t up for breathing nasally the whole run, especially on the steeper sections. Also forgot my nasal tape which for me is key, as I produce a fair bit of mucus (yuk) when trying to breathe nasally the whole time, but with the tape on my nose, my nose stays clear.

Tip - When you first start breathing nasally and exercising you’ll find that your nose wants to block up. Keep going as it does go away the more you practice. Put a bit of nasal tape over your nose and it will clear up quicker.
