2. Seeing More Joy
Doing a deliberate slow nasal breathing practice first thing every morning is like putting on joy contacts to start your day.
3. A Good Case for Doing Your Practice in the Morning
“We each have our unique starting baseline—the level of stress arousal that we usually hover around through any typical day … Regardless of where we start from, the lower we can get our baseline stress arousal, the better—it means we’ll be much more able to tolerate the peaks of stressful events.”
- Elissa Epel, Ph.D., The Stress Prescription
To me, this passage presents a good case for doing our slow breathing (or whichever practice you do) first thing in the morning. By starting at a lower baseline, we’ll tolerate the day’s stressors better 👏

P.S. And if you choose slow nasal breathing, you’ll get the added bonus of seeing more joy 😊 (see Thought #2).
