Your family changes, your friends change, the country 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: you live in changes, your jobs change, he said, everything 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: in your life changes to what you look changes, what 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: you like changes, what you wear changes.

Whichever 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: end of that spectrum you're on, you're alive, you're breathing, 30 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: You're here, and that makes a difference. That is extremely, 31 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: extremely powerful. It's really fascinating to think about that. I 32 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: saw a clip recently and I can't remember exactly who 33 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: it was, but they were having this conversation about whether 34 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: money or breathing were more important. So they said, what 35 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: if you got ten million dollars tomorrow in your bank account, 36 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: but you didn't wake up you stopped breathing, or you 37 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: can wake up tomorrow and be breathing but not have 38 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: ten million dollars in your bank account. And everyone, of 39 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: course said, well, I'd rather be alive than have money 40 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: in my bank account but not be alive, which means 41 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: that our life is more valuable than that amount of money. 42 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: Our breath is more valuable than that amount of money. 43 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: When you think about that, you start going, wow, I 44 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: take this breath for granted every day. How many times 45 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: have you ever been out of breath? And when you 46 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: finally catch that breath, you feel now, I feel centered. 47 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: Or you've been running, you've been playing sport and finally 48 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: you're able to take a full, deep breath, or maybe 49 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: you're someone who struggles with asthma or has some sort 50 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: of breathing challenges. When you feel you can breathe, isn't 51 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: it just a special feeling when your head's underwater, Right 52 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: when your head's underwater and you come up for that breath, 53 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: how amazing does that breath feel? Well, that's a breath 54 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: that we can experience every day. And here's the thing. 55 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: I didn't realize this until very very late on. I 56 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: lost my voice during my time as a monk. I 57 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: had these extremely large polyps in my throat. I was 58 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: constantly getting sick, I damaged my vocal words, was losing 59 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: my voice, and I had to have these polyps lasered 60 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: from inside of my throat. And then my doctor not 61 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: only wanted me to practice speaking again, and I had 62 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: to take vocal classes again. My voice sounded so different 63 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: when I started talking again, my voice sounded really, really soft, 64 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: and you kind have recognized it was me. Now, my 65 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: voice has gone back to normal pretty much. And I 66 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: was also asked to do breathwork, and I'd been practicing 67 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: breathwork as a monk as well, and it was really 68 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: amazing because I'd been trained in the signs of breathwork 69 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: spiritually and emotionally, and now I was being introduced to 70 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: breathwork scientifically and from a vocal point of view. And 71 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: today I want to share with you the five daily 72 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: habits for managing your emotions and they all connected to 73 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: your breath. Now, for those of you have read Think 74 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: like a Monk, you know this story. But even if 75 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: you've heard it before, it's one of those stories that 76 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: every time I tell her, I get goose bumps. It 77 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: was my first day of monk school and I was 78 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: watching around a ten year old monk teach a group 79 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: of younger monks their first day of monk school as well. 80 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: They were probably like six years old. And I was 81 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: watching him and I was thinking, Wow, look at that 82 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: ten year old teaching. It's incredible. And after the class ended, 83 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: I went up to him and I said, what was that? 84 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: And he said, it's their first day of monk school. 85 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: And he didn't say those words, but you know what 86 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean. And I said, amazing. What were you teaching them? 87 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: He said, well, what did you learn on your first 88 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: day of school? And I said, I think I learned 89 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: the ABC's the one, two, three, And he said, well, 90 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: we teach them how to breathe. And I said, what 91 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: do you mean, teach them how to breathe? Like what 92 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: does that mean? Like why do you teach him how 93 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,559 Speaker 1: to breathe? And he said, well, you know, the only 94 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 1: thing that stays with you from the moment you're born 95 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: to the moment you die, is your breath. Your family changes, 96 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: your friends change, the country you live in, changes, your 97 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: jobs change. He said, everything in your life changes to 98 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: what you look changes, what you like changes, what you 99 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: wear changes, But your breath stays the same, and it 100 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: stays with you. It's always with you. And he said, 101 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: when you're happy, what changes your breath? When you're sad, 102 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: what changes your breath? Your breath is connected to every 103 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: emotion in your life. And so if you know how 104 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: to navigate your breath, you will know how to navigate life. 105 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: And I started thinking about that. I started thinking about 106 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: how we use phrases like you take my breath away, 107 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: and that's a positive thing. We say, well, just looking 108 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: at you takes my breath away. So we're linking the 109 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: emotion of attraction to breath. But then we always say 110 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: let me, let me catch my breath, I need to 111 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: take a breath, or when you hear some big news, 112 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: maybe challenging news, you may say, I just need to breathe. 113 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: Notice how all of our emotions are so deeply interlinked 114 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: and interconnected to our breath, but we've never been to 115 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: a class that teaches us how to breathe. And what 116 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: was really fascinating for me is that when I started 117 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: working with the vocal and breath coach afterwards, she was 118 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: telling me how athletes learn how to breathe, musicians learn 119 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: how to breathe, and how each and every single one 120 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: of us should be treating our bodies like an athlete. 121 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: And when I heard that, I was completely moved by 122 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: that idea that we are all athletes because we use 123 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: our mind, we use our body. We are completely engaged 124 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: mentally and physically every single day, yet we don't learn 125 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: how to breathe. We all deal with emotions every day, 126 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: but we don't learn how to breathe. And isn't that fascinating? 127 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: Isn't that incredible that there is something we do every 128 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: day but we've never been trained in how to do it. 129 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Now you may say, Jay, why do I need to 130 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: train in how to do it? Because I'm alive. I 131 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: breathe just fine. Or what if I told you that 132 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: this habit would change how you deal with stress, that 133 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: this one habit could change the quality of your sleep, 134 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: that this one habit could get you more energy when 135 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: you need it. I'm sure you'd say, jam In, I'm in. 136 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: Who doesn't want to sleep deeper? Who doesn't want to 137 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: manage their stress better? Who doesn't want to be able 138 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: to calm their nerves, reduce anxiety and fear simply through 139 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: one habit? Are you ready? Let's do it? So. The 140 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: first type of breathing that I want to introduce you 141 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: to is not even about breathing. It's called the five 142 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: four three two one technique. And this technique is something 143 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: I learned as a monk to increase presence, but today 144 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: it's used by therapists and coaches and medical professionals, And 145 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: I recently did this with Gail King on CBS this morning, 146 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: and the five four three two one technique has been 147 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: created to help you feel grounded in the moment. How 148 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: many times are you in a space but you're not 149 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: internally there? You're there in physical presence, but you're not 150 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: there in mental, emotional, spiritual presence. So to be somewhere 151 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: and I want you to be where you are right now. 152 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: Here's what I want you to do. What are five 153 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: things that you can see? Could be the sky, and 154 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: these are five things that you can see that you 155 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: can't touch. So it could be the trees, could be 156 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: the sky, could be the ceiling, could be the wall. 157 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: Bring your attention to those five things, one at a time, 158 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: and taken a deep breath and natural breath and out 159 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: gently close your eyes and lower your gaze. Now, what 160 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: are the four things you can touch? Maybe your shirt, 161 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: your trousers, the chair you're sitting on. Notice the difference 162 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: in the coolness or the warmth, the harshness or the 163 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: soft Bring your attention to each one of these, one 164 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: at a time, taking a deep breath and naturally out. Now, 165 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: what are the three things you can hear? Might be 166 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: the sound of my voice, the sound of your stomach, 167 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: maybe a conversation in the background, or white noise. Allow 168 00:11:52,600 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: them in and taking a deep breath and out. And 169 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: what are the two things that you can smell? Could 170 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: be a scent or a fragrance, taking a deep breath 171 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: and out. And what's one thing you can taste taking 172 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: a deep breath and out? How was that for you 173 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: just in a few moments. Don't you feel more present, 174 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: more still, more calm, more grounded. Maybe you're breathing slower 175 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: and deeper, maybe you're feeling a bit more clear. I 176 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed that. So that's one thing I want 177 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: you to practice. When you walk into a meeting room, 178 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: when you walk into a zoom, when you walk into 179 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: your room, when you finish the day of work and 180 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: you're in your living space, take a moment to just 181 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: do that. Take a moment to just feel that presence. 182 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: So that's habit number one. This one you can use 183 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: at any moment, at any time. I usually use it 184 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: when I feel my mind is everywhere and I feel 185 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: I'm not really in this space and maybe distracted, and 186 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: so when I go into a room, I always try 187 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: and do this first. Now, the next thing I want 188 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: to introduce you to is called diaforumatic breathing. Now I 189 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: had to look this up when I first started hearing 190 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: about it, and now when you look at medical sites, 191 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: it describes the diaphragm as a large muscle that sits 192 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: below the lungs. It helps move air in and out 193 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: of the lungs. So we're always told to breathe into 194 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: your lungs, right, But actually diaforumatic breathing is deep and 195 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: fully engages the diaphragm and increases the efficiency of the lungs. 196 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: So normal breathing is pretty shallow and doesn't necessarily completely 197 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: use the lungs in the way that they can be used. 198 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: So what I want you to do is, I want 199 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: you to place your left hand on your stomach and 200 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: your right hand on your chest. And diaforumatic or belly 201 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: breathing involves fully engaging the stomach and the abdominal muscles. 202 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: So what we're going to do is going to breathe in. 203 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: But as you breathe in, you're going to feel your 204 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: stomach come out. So when you inhale, breathe in through 205 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: the nose, drawing the breath down towards the stomach, and 206 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: you'll actually feel your stomach coming out, pushing against your hand, 207 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: and your chest remains still. And then when you breathe out, 208 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: when your lips you're slightly open, and you'll feel your 209 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: stomach go in to breathe in and feel your stomach 210 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: go out and breathe out and feel your stomach go 211 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: in in through your nose and out through your mouth. 212 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: So diapheumatic breathing not only strengthens the diaphragm and stability 213 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: in the core muscles, it lowers the heart rate and 214 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: the blood pressure, reducing oxygen demand and allows you to 215 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: feel more relaxed. And this type of breathing of course, 216 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: is allowing you to have deeper, more powerful breaths where 217 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: your lungs are actually benefiting from the process. This one 218 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: I recommend practicing throughout the day. You can do it 219 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: for two to five minutes at a time, multiple times 220 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: a day, whenever you feel like you're out of breath, 221 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: whenever you feel like you're running around, you're rushing around. 222 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: This is a great one to practice. Now. The next 223 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: one I want to share with you is today referred 224 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: to as box breathing, or square breathing, and weberbad says 225 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: it's a breathing technique that can help you slow down 226 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: your breathing. It works by distracting your mind as you 227 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: counter four, calming your nervous system, and decreasing stress in 228 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: your body. So this is more directly linked to stress. 229 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: The diachromatic breathing is the practice we use across all 230 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: of these areas, and it can be used whenever, but 231 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: when you're actually feeling a deep bit of stress. So 232 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: in this one, what we're going to do is we're 233 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: basically doing the same type of breathing, but we're adding 234 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: the counter four. So the reason why it's a box 235 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: breadth is you're breathing in for four. Imagine a line 236 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: going up, you're holding for four. Imagine a line going across. 237 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: You're breathing out for four. Imagine a line going down 238 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: and you're waiting for four. Imagine a line going across. 239 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: So it draws a square and you can actually visualize 240 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: the square as you do this. So place your hands 241 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: back in those same spaces, and I want you now 242 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: to breathe in for a count of four, fel your 243 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: stomach come out, and then hold for four out for 244 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: four and then wait. So that's a test run. And 245 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: the careful thing you have to do is as you 246 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: breathe in, feel your stomach come out, and now as 247 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: you hold, hold gently. This is actually training our mind 248 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: to be able to hold without holding with pressure. Often 249 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: we hold on to things, even things that stress us out, 250 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: by really holding them tightly. See if you can hold 251 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: your breath gently and softly and then release and feel 252 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: your stomach come in and then wait. So let's do 253 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: it again together. Place your hand on your stomach in 254 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: your chest. Breathe in two three four, hold two three 255 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: four out two through four in two three four, hold 256 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: two three four out two three four. This is an 257 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: activity that may feel d or awkward at first, but 258 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: you want to do it for about thirty seconds, which 259 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: will help you feel more relaxed and controlled. It was 260 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: fascinating because recently I went on to the Breakfast Club. 261 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: And when I was at the breakfast Club, I went 262 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: on the show. But before the show, I was greeted 263 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: by security, and one of the men at security came 264 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: up to me and said hello, and he was mentioning 265 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: to me that his wife listens to the podcast, and 266 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: he said to me that he used to be in 267 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: the military and they we're trained in the military to 268 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: do box breathing when you know before they were about 269 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: to use a firearm because it would help control their breath. 270 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: And he was saying that so much of using weapons 271 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: or even being in high pressure stress situations, breathing was 272 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: used in military. Now you may say, well, that's fairly extreme, 273 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: but I would say, aren't there times in our day 274 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: that we feel we're having an internal battle? Aren't there 275 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: times in our day where we feel so stressed and 276 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: pressured by the people around us. I know that we're 277 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: not experiencing it that extreme, but mentally it can feel 278 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: that way. And so I want you to think about 279 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: how you can practice box breathing throughout the day in 280 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: times of deep stress. And if four seconds it's too much, 281 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: you can start with two or three seconds to help 282 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: you start practicing. The goal is to breathe in and 283 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: out and hold for the same amount of time, creating 284 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: a square. Now I'm going to add I want you 285 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: to make sure you're comfortable during these exercises like these 286 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: are not exercises that I take exclusive time for. These 287 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: are exercises that I do at my desk. These exercises 288 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: I do in the car. These are exercises I do 289 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: all the time. What I like about that approach is 290 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: that you don't have to carve out time for these. 291 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: These are activities and habits that just slot into your 292 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: day that you can do whenever you like. I want 293 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: to share with you the biggest news of the year. 294 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: How many of you want to meditate. I can see 295 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: your heads nodding, I can see you raising your hands. 296 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: I can see you saying, yes, Jay, I really want 297 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 1: to learn to meditate. How many of you would like 298 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: to learn to meditate with me every single day? Now, 299 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: I already know what the answer is because I know 300 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: how many messages DMS reviews notes that I get saying Jay, 301 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: I'd love to meditate with you. Last year, we took 302 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: meditation to Instagram and I meditated for around forty days 303 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: live and twenty million of you tuned in. Now I 304 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: am taking that same focus, that same presence to Calm. 305 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: I've partnered up with Calm to release a new series 306 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: called The Daily j where you can meditate with me 307 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: every single day for seven minutes. To make it a 308 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: real habit, I would love for you to come and 309 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: join me and take part in building a really powerful 310 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: meditation practice. And guess what we're going to do it together? 311 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: Head over right now Calm dot com forward slash J 312 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: to get forty percent off a premium membership. That's Calm 313 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: dot com Forward slash J. So we did the five 314 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: four three to one, we did dia fromatic breathing, we 315 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: did box breathing, and now I'm going to leave you 316 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: with one more. And this happens to be my client's 317 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: favorite one because it's the energizing breath also sometimes known 318 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: as the fire breath, and the official way of saying 319 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: is coppola butty pranayama. I know that's hard, so you 320 00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: can just call it the k b P. Coppola but KBP. Right. So, 321 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: now this is really fascinating because a shri Shi yoga 322 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: teacher says that eighty percent of the toxins in our 323 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: body are released through the outgoing breath. Regular practice of 324 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: kapalabam detoxifies all the systems in our body, so it 325 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: has massive benefits for detoxing. Right. It clears our sinuses, 326 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: our lungs, the respiratory system of allergens. It invigorates and 327 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: warms the system increases metabolism, which is really really powerful 328 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: of course, and in a very simple sense, it gives energy. Right. 329 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 1: I usually practice this if I've got to the end 330 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: of my day but I know I need to go out, 331 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: I need to meet someone, I need to go to dinner, 332 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: and I'm feeling tired. This is usually what I do. 333 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: Or if I wake up in the morning and I 334 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: feel tired in the morning, this is something that I 335 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: practice as well. So what you want to do here 336 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: is this is going to feel very unnatural because we 337 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: don't breathe like this at all, but I want you 338 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: to stick with me. You going to take in a 339 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: natural inhale, not too deep, not too shallow, just a 340 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: natural inhale. But then on the exhale you're going to 341 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: exhale actively and sharply. So the exhale is like a millisecond, 342 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: so inhale, exhale, and it almost sounds like you're clearing 343 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: your nose. But if you do it sharply and actively, 344 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: you'll start to feel a pump. Now, with this one, 345 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: I want you to go in your own pace, at 346 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: your own time, and we're only going to do about 347 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: ten reps. And if you feel like continuing, you can 348 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: do twenty. Now, it's not about the pace. It's not 349 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,239 Speaker 1: about how many you can do. It's not about how 350 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: fast you can go. It's about how quickly you can 351 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: release your abdomens. You breathe in, and you want to 352 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: find a pace that was fairly fast, and you could. 353 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: There are people that do it fast, but you can 354 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: find a pace that's right for you. So you may 355 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: do and you'll actually find that the inhale happens naturally. 356 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: When you sharply and actively exhale, the inhale happens naturally. 357 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: So it may take you a few goals to feel 358 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: comfortable with this, but I want you to try it 359 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: out because whenever you're feeling tired, this will be fantastically energizing. Honestly, 360 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: it's so powerful. And again you're only doing ten to 361 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: twenty reps at a time, so you're not trying to 362 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: go on for as long as you can. It needs 363 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: to be built up with time. So these are the 364 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: four habits that I wanted to share with you today 365 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: that are so powerful. This one's great for energy. The 366 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: box breathing is great for stress. The diachromatic breathing is amazing, 367 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: before sleep, and the five four three two one is 368 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 1: for grounded. These are four daily habits that you can 369 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: use throughout the day. They're like an open menu that 370 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: will transform your breath, which will transform your experience of 371 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: your life. I really believe that I do these before 372 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: I send emails. I do this when I get a 373 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: stressful email. I do this if I'm about to have 374 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: a difficult phone call. I practice these breathing patterns when 375 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm sitting in bed struggling to sleep. These breathing patterns 376 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: have become my go to. See we already have go toos, 377 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: but our go too is I can't sleep. Let me 378 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: put a pill, I can't sleep. Let me go and 379 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: have a snack. I feel tired, Let me eat sugar 380 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: or cobs. Notice how you already have something you do. 381 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: What if you could change what it is that you do? 382 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: What if you could upgrade what it is that you do? 383 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: In order to not give in to those lower habits. 384 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: I find that simply through breathwork, I can feel full, energized, 385 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,479 Speaker 1: focused and clear and rested. And for all of you 386 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: who really really struggle, breathe in for four and out 387 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: for more than four. Breathe in for four and out 388 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: for more than four that will relax you or slow 389 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: down your breath. I did a mini little challenge. I 390 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: was watching whether I could control my breath in high 391 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: stress situations. So we did a experiment where there was 392 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: a heavy metal rock metal band that was playing really 393 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: fast and hard, and I had to sit next to 394 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: them and lower my breath. And I found that going 395 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: inward and focusing on my breath allowed me to slow 396 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: down my heart rate even though the bass drum was 397 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: going so fast. We tried the same in traffic. I 398 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: even did the same in a cold plunge. And that's 399 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: what I found every single time, that in any of 400 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: those places of high stress and high speed, by simply 401 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: doing these activities, I was able to drop my heart 402 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: rate and the breathing rate and allow myself to feel 403 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: scented and calm, even in places of chaos. So I've 404 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: tried and tested this. Athletes have tried and tested this. 405 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: Musicians have tried and tested this. It's now your turn. 406 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening today. Now I have 407 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: to take an opportunity to do this.
