Your breath has a significant impact on your personal and professional life. Improving how you breathe can improve your results in ways you might not have considered yet.
Here’s some hidden benefits of better breathing techniques:
Reduce Stress and Anxiety: Deep and mindful breathing triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone). This can help you stay calm, focused, and manage stress better, especially in high-pressure work environments.
Improved Focus and Mental Clarity. More rhythmic, conscious breathing increases oxygen flow to your brain, which can help improve cognitive function and starting the flow of benefits.
With better focus, you can make clearer decisions, solve problems more effectively, and increase productivity and ultimately profitability.
Increased Energy and Endurance. When you breathe deeply and rhythmically your body gets more oxygen, which fuels your muscles and organs.
This leads to more energy throughout the day, improving both physical and mental endurance in work and daily tasks.
Better Posture. Conscious, mindful breathing encourages proper alignment of the diaphragm and spine.
Sitting at a computer becomes easier as your body is more energised and you avoid the slump, neckache and backache.
This can lead to improved posture, reducing back pain, neck strain, and other physical discomforts commonly caused by slouching or poor posture during work.
Enhanced Emotional Regulation: By practicing controlled breathing techniques that are adjusted for you and your breathing health, you can better manage your emotions, reducing impulsivity or outbursts.
This is particularly useful for building strong relationships with colleagues or clients. For more than 20 years Gail has been using breath as a catalyst for operational performance transformation. Breath rhythm becomes contagious and when leaders adjust their breath to that of a leader, team members will innately recognise the change and subconsciously adjust their breathing rate.
Improved Sleep Quality Better breathing habits can improve the quality of your sleep, as it helps reduce tension and promotes relaxation.
A good night’s rest leads to better performance at work and a more balanced lifestyle.
Stronger Immune System: Proper breathing enhances lung capacity and helps expel toxins from the body. Over time, this can strengthen your immune system, helping you stay healthier and more resilient against illnesses, which is crucial for maintaining consistent work performance.
Incorporating simple breathing techniques and becoming aware of your breath throughout the day can create long-term benefits for work performance, personal achievement and overall quality of life.
