11. Breath Work
Practice controlled breathing exercises to manage stress and energy.
Example:
I tried deep breathing every morning, and it’s like an instant calm-down button. Felt like I could handle anything after that.
Application:
When you're feeling stressed, take a moment to breathe deeply—inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Repeat. Instant reset.
