THE BREATH TEST · 60 SECONDS

How fast are you breathing right now?

Your breathing rate is one of the clearest signals of what's going on in your nervous system. Most people have no idea how they're breathing, yet it drives how they feel, think and show up every day.

  1. Sit or stand comfortably.
  2. Breathe normally. Don't try to control it.
  3. Tap once for every full breath (in and out) for 60 seconds.
  • 5–8Zen mode. Calm, regulated and in control.
  • 8–12Optimal. Where you want to be most of the time.
  • 12–16Pay attention. Your system is starting to speed up.
  • 16–20Needs work. You're likely in a state of stress.
  • 20+Tiger chasing you. Your body thinks you're under threat.

Triangle breathing

My go-to reset. Breathe in, breathe out, then hold at the end of the exhale, keeping each part about the same length. The hold is the key: most of us breathe in more than we breathe out.

Follow the circle for six rounds, about a minute. Then take the Breath Test again and notice the difference.

Ready when you are.
