UNIT 5 and that EXERCISE

This exercise for me was all about how I breathe. In particular; I've been told in the past that I am a mouth guy-not a nose guy. Let me explain; when I'm sleeping I snore through my mouth not my nose. This has happened new recently in the past three years I've noticed not just from my ex-boyfriend but from my army buddies whenever we're camping away-they hit me. (You can laugh). This exercise FORCED me to close my mouth and breathe through my nose. I'm a mouth guy-I get panicky super quick if close my mouth as that is the only comfortable way for me to breathe. Today I have spent most of my day (I've been awake since 2pm yesterday and it's past noon today) with my mouth closed and breathing just fine through my nose. That's not completely the point of this exercise although it was nice to have that revelation that if I just focus on my breathing and nothing else-I could apply those same methods to my life. This book (Integral Health) has really made a difference for me. I am forever thankful this course came back into my life for a second time-it has come at a time where I really need this course after everything that has been thrown my way. I may sound repetitive when I state this but it's true-through everything this summer has come and passed with all life changing events, I haven't been depressed or too hard on myself this autumn/winter. I have been very relaxed with how I handle drama.
