If you’ve always identified as the smart one 🧠, the intelligent one, the person who can analyse, reason and talk their way through almost anything, this may apply to you.

Here’s where I’d start.

Find a body based practice that gives you regular practice paying attention to your body. Yoga, martial arts, dance, anything that asks you to experience rather than analyse.

Then give yourself a few external reminders throughout the day to notice what’s happening internally.

Are you hungry?
Thirsty?
Do you need to p*e?
Are you tired?
Tense?
Restless?

At first, you may need the external prompt to lead you back to the internal one ↩️

And if you miss the signal, sometimes your behaviour will give you a clue.

Maybe you suddenly notice you’re snapping at everyone, and when you stop to check in, you realise you’re exhausted or hangry, and haven’t eaten for five hours.

Use the behaviour as a breadcrumb to lure your attention back towards the body…🧀

Over time, the practice is noticing those signals earlier, before you automatically override them.

That’s one place I’d start rebuilding self trust 🫀

DM TRAINING and let’s chat about whether this is the right fit for you. 💙

Most people look at the curriculum and stop there.

Here’s what Fefa’s testimonial actually points to 🫴🏼

1. The community. An exquisite, supportive, global community of practitioners who inspire and teach one another. You’re learning from each other, not just from me.

2. The embodiment. Tapas (the discipline and fire to keep practicing) sits at the root of this training. Getting into your body and actually practicing and living what we believe in.

3. Programming for real clients. Knowledge only means something when you can adapt it and translate it to the person in front of you.

4. The science. So your classes get better, your workshops get busier, and your clients trust you to get them results they can actually track.

Fefa just finished the Advanced Breath Instructor Training and said the people inside was the most beautiful part of the whole thing.

Bigger is not better, this is just a trick of our ego-mind

Breathwork isn’t a competition for who can cry the hardest, shake the most, or have the most outlandish experience.

You can become dysregulated through an intense breathing practice, and equally become dysregulated through a practice that seems incredibly subtle.

And you can have deeply profound, life changing experiences through both.

The mistake is believing that intensity or any other outwards expression is the measure of transformation.

It often reveals itself so gradually you don’t notice it until weeks or months later, looking in the rear view mirror

You realise you’re less reactive with your children, you bounce back from emotional triggers more quickly, you recover from stress with more ease. You stop trying to control things so much… fist closed to palm open 🫴🏼

The transformation is often revealed in relationship with yourself, other people and with the world around you.🫶🏼

Whats your experience? Would love to hear. Thanks Sophia x for sharing so openly , what an honest and incredible reflection

Hands up if you’ve ever caught yourself trying to win at wellness. 🙋🏻‍♀️

If you’re a high achiever, overachiever or perfectionist, there’s a good chance you’ve brought the same strengths that have served you so well into your breathing practice.

Sometimes that’s exactly what gets in the way..

Have you ever caught yourself trying to do breathwork perfectly? Or worried you’re getting it wrong? Or putting in so much effort you end up feeling more strained?

If so, here’s a great place to start 🫶🏼

The questions you answer shape the culture you create.

If you constantly answer hypothetical questions, you’ll build a community that gets very good at thinking.

If you encourage people to take action and come back with real world challenges, you’ll build a community that gets very good at doing.

Real growth happens when reality pushes back ✨🙌🏼

The test in this video is called the BOLT (Body Oxygen Level Test). It’s a comfortable breath pause after a normal exhale that ends at the first definite urge to breathe.

Kyle Kiesel and colleagues developed and evaluated a screening tool for dysfunctional breathing that combined a breath pause under 25 seconds with four simple questions:

• Do you often feel tense?
• Do your hands or feet often feel cold?
• Do you yawn frequently?
• Do you breathe through your mouth at night?

How to interpret your result:

If your breath pause was 25 seconds or longer and you answered “never” or “occasionally” to all four questions, dysfunctional breathing was considered unlikely in this screening tool.

If your breath pause was under 25 seconds, or you answered “frequently” or “very frequently” to any one of the four questions, the screening tool suggested you may benefit from a more comprehensive breathing assessment.

The BOLT is one piece of the puzzle. Your breathing pattern, symptoms, medical history, goals and validated assessments all help build a more complete picture.

What was your score? 👇🏼

Panic is shaped by the sensations you feel AND the predictions your brain makes about those sensations. 🧠

Every time those stress signals arise and you’re able to settle instead of escalating them, your brain has an opportunity to update what it predicts those signals mean. Over time, it begins to expect recovery after stress. With repetition, those predictions become more accurate.

During a panic attack, try cupping your hands over your nose and mouth and breathe quietly through your nose (*mouth if nose isn’t possible). Creating a small rebreathing space while slowing your breathing may help restore carbon dioxide towards normal levels, reducing sensations like dizziness, tingling and air hunger that can keep the panic cycle going.

Every repetition gives your brain another opportunity to build a more accurate prediction of what those stress signals mean.

You never know when you or someone you love might need this. Save it for later.

Signs you suffer from shelf help:

• Buying books and reading one chapter before retiring them to the shelf.

• Highlighting entire chapters. Sticky notes with asterisks for bonus points.

• Skipping all the practices because you’ll “come back to those.”

• A mild addiction to the feeling of a new insight saved into an Instagram folder you’ll never look at again.

• Signing up for yet another training while never making your money back from the last one.

• Lingering in the self help aisle while never staying with anything long enough to discover whether the pieces you already have might actually work.

I spend a lot of time talking to practitioners and one pattern I see over and over again is people abandoning things before they’ve had a chance to work.

Every new idea feels exciting, insight feels worthy of highlighting and gives us the sense that we’re progressing…Every new training feels like the thing that’s finally going to make us knowledgeable enough, credible enough or respectable enough.

The irony is that expertise is usually built through repetition rather than novelty.

Staying with one thing until you think people must surely be sick of hearing you talk about it.

If you’re an entrepreneur, commitment is doing enough reps that the outcome you want becomes inevitable.

I think becoming a great practitioner works much the same way.

Forget about knowing everything and become a forever student. Stay curious, ask excellent questions and become the best damn problem solver you can be - because when you do that, it matters far less whether you already have the answer. People trust that you’ll be the person willing to stay in the conversation long enough to help them find it. 🫶🏼

Send this to a friend suffering from shelf help.

Side note: you should still buy my book The Breath Reset Plan Affirm Press (and do the practices inside 🤦🏽‍♀️)
