Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I keep catching myself with my mouth hanging open while I’m hunched over the screen concentrating, and who knows how many hours a day I spend like that without noticing
  • I want one tiny thing I can do right when I wake up
  • The first thing I do awake is grab my phone, and by the time I’m out of bed the inbox and the headlines have already set my mood for me
  • I suspect I’ve been breathing wrong my whole life
  • I think I breathe too much without realizing it
