Hábito de 1 minuto para 4 de octubre
Breathe in through nose, out through mouth 5 times
Por qué este hábito ayuda
Nasal breathing filters and humidifies air while stimulating the vagus nerve, which controls the parasympathetic 'rest and digest' response.
Mouth exhalation allows for slower, more controlled release of breath, increasing carbon dioxide tolerance and improving oxygen exchange efficiency by up to 20%.
Lo que harás en 1 minuto
- Calms nervous system quickly
- Increases oxygen exchange efficiency
- Provides tangible breath awareness
- Reduces anxiety and stress
- Creates mindful breathing pattern
Resumen rápido
This simple breathing pattern creates a natural rhythm that many ancient practices have used for centuries. The nose-mouth combination leverages the unique benefits of both breathing pathways.
When we consciously direct breath through different pathways, we engage the brain's respiratory centers more fully, creating a stronger mind-body connection and interrupting automatic stress responses.

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I started doing this breathing pattern during my commute when traffic gets stressful. At first it felt silly, but now it's my go-to reset button. Those five breaths are often enough to keep me from reacting to frustrating situations. It's like a pause button for my temper.
