How to Make Healthy Habits Stick: Start with Nasal Breathing for Real Results

The Problem with Today’s Productivity Culture

I know you’ve heard it everywhere, its on your Tik Tok FYP, its mentioned in every other Instagram carousel, and don’t even get me started on the amount of times people have recommended you read “Atomic Habits.”

They all say we need to figure out how to build sustainable healthy habits. But there are so many things that are continuously added to these to do lists: work out 3-5 days a week, eat a healthy meal 3 times a day, go to sleep early, wake up early, drink a certain amount of water, get 10k steps in every day, read a book each month - how are we supposed to manage it all?

In this day of over-saturated expectations of productivity and habit tracking, we are expected to optimize every single second of every single minute of every single day. Our focus is moving from one thing to another minute to minute. We are multi-tasking. We are habit-stacking. We are TIRED.

What If Healthy Habits Didn’t Have to Be So Hard?

Throughout this new image of what a “perfect productive day” looks like, we are losing sight of the things that are important. The slow morning coffee with our family instead of the morning doom-scroll, the gentle afternoon stretch or outdoor walk in exchange for the back to back zoom meetings, the comfort of reading a good book before bed instead of frantically checking our email for anything we might have missed. Our stress-levels are going up while our quality of life is plummeting. Why is it that the very things promised to help us build our ‘dream life’ often leave us overwhelmed, disconnected, and exhausted?

Start Small—Start with a Breath

In this culture of rushing and productivity, it is crucial to take a moment to slow down and give a second of peace, quiet and deep easy breaths to our nervous system. We need to ease our minds and slow our bodies in order to keep going, because the rate we are moving lately is so fast its so easy to forget to simply breathe.
