Hey, Hero!
Michael here. ✌️
It’s time for another key Fundamental Practice: Breathing.
Here’s what it looks like:
Breathing Optimally = REQUIRED Fundamental The daily target is to practice
Optimal breathing for at least 3 minutes.
1 - Breathe in through the nose, calmly and quietly. 2 - Down into your belly, using your diaphragm. 3 - Exhale for slightly longer than your inhale.
Aim for between 3.5-5 breaths per minute. (Note: in for six, hold for one, out for eight — 6-1-8 — is four breaths per minute.)
Learn more in this week’s Mastery Series Module VI: The Fundies — Part 5: Breathe. (Plus, here’s Luminary Guest Faculty member and world-renowned breathing expert Patrick McKeown teaching our community how to take an Optimal breath.)

Now…
Let’s take one Optimal breath together!?
In through the nose, calmly and quietly, using the diaphragm.
Hold, for a beat.
Out back through the nose, extending your exhalation longer than your breath in.
😊
And… here’s what’s happening this week in Heroic Coach:
Actions:
Watch: Module VI: The Fundies - Part 5: Breathe. (PDF of the poster + worksheets here). Having explored the 80/20 of Eating, Moving, and
Sleeping, we turn our attention to another potential contender for the title of "most important fundamental." We learn how to Optimize our breathing (through the nose, deep into the belly, with long exhales) all day, every day, and how to train our tranquility with this ticket to self-mastery.
Practice: Spend at least 3 minutes per day practicing Optimal Breathing. (You can stack it with meditation, journaling, napitating, exercising, going to sleep… anything!)
