HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO STOP FOR A SECOND BECAUSE YOU’RE HAVING A PANIC ATTACK?

That happened to a weatherman live on air and he handled it brilliantly. I listened to a BBC5 Live show on BBC Sounds this morning from last Thursday in which the presenter Rima Ahmed flagged how Nate Byrne got into breathing difficulties. The response from a psychologist on the show went down the mainstream route […]

DON’T FORGET TO BREATHE…

This is Leo. And that’s a regular-sized tennis ball. One day he’ll be big enough to catch it. Until then, he’s gonna have to be patient. We often have to be patient in life, don’t we. Tip: Don’t forget to breathe
MANY PEOPLE WILL RELATE TO MY OWN EXPERIENCE…

The more parents and kids become aware of the importance of how you breathe from a very young age, the better the population in health terms!

BREATHING FOR SHOPPING HACK!

As a breathing re-educator, aka breathwork, it’s incredible how from a hygiene point of view, so little attention is paid to giving people advice on breathing through the nose only. If, for example, you are shopping, in a store or walking along the high street, keeping your mouth closed, especially when you are alone is […]

LAST MONTH’S EVENT HERALDED WHAT’S TO COME FROM RITUAL NETWORKING AT WELLNESS IN THE CITY

Joel Jelen writes… LAST MONTH’S RITUAL WAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MANTRAS I OFTEN SEE AND HEAR FROM HIGH VISIBILITY ENTREPRENEURS AND LEADERSHIP GURUS ON HOW TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF IN WORK AND LIFE. That’s a critique not a criticism of some of the best known in their field against a […]

SAVE FIGHT OR FLIGHT FOR WHEN YOU NEED IT

Sniff Sigh Yawn’s Joel Jelen says watch out for those bad breathing habits in the office… “HOW DO I TEACH MY BODY THAT MY FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR LIFE OR DEATH SITUATIONS, NOT ANSWERING EMAILS?” I always endeavour to bring humour with a dose of reality into my conversations with […]
