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

• I breathe fast and shallow and high in my chest all day, like I’m always slightly starved for air and have to take big gulps
• 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 think I breathe too much without realizing it
• I’m not in a panic, just chronically wound a little too tight, and I want a steady daily breathing rhythm I can settle into for a few minutes to bring my whole system down a notch
• I try to keep up with the fast pace in the video and a couple of minutes in I get lightheaded and have to stop

Practices that may help

1. Reduced-volume breathing to raise CO2 tolerance
   Breathe slightly less than your body demands — a mild air hunger — to recalibrate the CO2 set point.
   Nasal Breathing for Performance
2. Breathe light to breathe right (nasal at rest)
   Maintain habitual nasal breathing at rest by consciously catching and correcting mouth-breathing episodes throughout the day.

3. Light, slow, deep breathing at rest
   Breathe less air than you need — lighter, slower, deeper — to recalibrate the resting CO2 set point.
   The Oxygen Advantage, Made Practical
4. Coherent breathing — 5–6 breaths per minute
   Breathe at roughly 5.5 breaths per minute (about 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out) to maximize heart rate variability and autonomic balance.
   The Relaxation Body-Mind, Made Practical
5. Build pace gradually — 1 stroke/second before going faster
   Start at one stroke per second and add pace only when the abdomen leads cleanly at the current rate.
   Kapalbhati Pranayama, Made Practical
6. Resonance frequency breathing (slow-paced breathing)
   Breathe at roughly 5–6 breaths per minute to maximize HRV amplitude in real time.
   Heart Rate Variability Training, Made Practical
7. 5-5 breathing (five in, five out)
   Breathe in for five seconds and out for five seconds, continuously, for five to twenty minutes.
   Coherent Breathing, Made Practical
8. Assess your baseline breathing pattern
   Observe your resting breathing for one minute to diagnose chronic over-breathing before you try to fix it.
   The Oxygen Advantage, Made Practical
9. Use relaxation as a foundation for habit awareness
   Baseline arousal reduction lowers the frequency of stress-triggered habits and improves awareness quality.
   Habit Reversal Training, Made Practical
10. Let the habit grow on its own
    Once the tiny habit is automatic, let it expand naturally instead of forcing more.
