This Week’s Feel-Good Challenge: Wim Hof Breathing
Looking for a simple yet powerful way to boost your energy, reduce stress, and feel absolutely amazing? Say hello to Wim Hof breathing.
This technique has been part of my routine for YEARS, and every time I do it, I feel like a superhero.
How to do it:
3 rounds of 40 breaths – deep inhales followed by smooth, circular exhales (no need to push the air out forcefully)
On the 40th breath, exhale and hold – stay in that breath-hold state until you feel the urge to breathe again
When you need to breathe, take a deep inhale, hold for 15 seconds, then release
Repeat for 3 rounds
Trust me—this practice can change your day (and maybe even your life). Try it and let me know how long you can hold your breath! (I hit 3 minutes this morning. ?)
The Most Fun I Had This Week: RC Cars & Pure Laughter
Ever done something so fun you couldn’t stop laughing? That was me this week—ripping RC cars on a dirt track with one of my best friends.
We used to race these things back in junior high, and finally, after years of talking about it, we hit an outdoor track together. And let me tell you… it was pure joy.
Sliding through turns. Hitting jumps. Chasing each other around.
Laughing so hard my stomach hurt.
Moral of the story? Find something that makes you giggle uncontrollably—and DO IT. No excuses.
