Let’s say you take an average of 15 breaths/min, or 21,600 per day.
Let’s also say, like me, you’re a decent (but not perfect) breather.
Thus, at the end of each of those 21,600 breaths, there’s a short pause.
For simplicity, let’s say that pause is 1-sec (sometimes shorter or longer).
That adds up to 21,600 seconds without breathing each day.
That’s a 6-hour breath hold each day.
That’s 1/4 of your day.
That’s 1/4 of your life.
That’s 🤯 🤯 🤯
