It's not like going on some crazy diet and you feel the benefits two months later.

So after a few seconds, you usually get a hint that, oh, this might be important.

Oh, I can downregulate my nervous system by just taking a few breaths.

As far as developing a new habit where you're doing it unconsciously, it totally depends who you are, where you are on that spectrum of breathing health, right?

If you're somebody with extreme COPD, who has asthma, who's been breathing dysfunctionally your whole life, it's going to take you a lot longer to get to that point.

So it's difficult for me to answer that.

For me, I...

I thought I was a good breather.

I was much more dysfunctional than I anticipated.

So it was after a couple of months, but the breathing exercise, it's great.

It is optional.

The number one thing is that nasal breathing because your body, you do that, you're about 70% there because you're breathing more slowly.

It forces you to breathe more slowly.

All true.

Everything you've said there, except for the fact that not everybody is breathing through the mouth.

So a lot of us are habituated to be mouth breathers.

But the rest of that, that was the best non-AI live human summary I've heard in a long time.

So congratulations.

I don't believe this.

I know this.
