Hey friends, Last Monday, I had a live session on my community platform, 'Breath Mind Body Academy,' where I talked a little bit about stress and recovery and how breathwork, mindfulness, and movement can help us manage our stress levels better. I thought it would be wonderful to share some of these reflections with you. Our bodies are fascinating systems, aren't they? They manage stress through the autonomic nervous system, which includes the sympathetic system for those "fight or flight"...

Hey friends, In light of the recent passing of Akira Toriyama on March 1, the genius behind Dragon Ball, which influenced me immensely, it's a poignant time to reflect on the heroes that shape us. Toriyama's creation of Son Goku and his friends gave us more than just entertainment; it offered characters that many of us have looked up to as role models. This week, let's dive into why finding role models, even among fictional characters, can be a powerful guide in our lives, as opposed to...

Hey friends, In our ongoing exploration of personal growth and self-awareness, today's topic delves into a fascinating distinction: the difference between confidence and courage. Defining Confidence and Courage: At first glance, confidence and courage might seem like interchangeable concepts, but they are fundamentally distinct.

Hey friends, In our ongoing journey of exploring breathwork and mindfulness, I've been contemplating a powerful idea that intertwines with our understanding of happiness and pursuit. Reflecting on Dr. Robert Sapolsky's insightful quote - "Dopamine is not about the pursuit of happiness, it is about the happiness of pursuit." - led me to another thought-provoking saying, "Easy choices, hard life.

Hey friends, Let's start with a puzzle. Why do some plants, when exposed to sub-lethal doses of stress or toxins, not only survive but thrive? Today's topic - hormesis, is the science behind this conundrum and an invaluable metaphor for our personal and professional lives. The Magic of Hormesis Hormesis is a term borrowed from toxicology.
