The breath-thought connection

The way you breathe influences how you think

Calm, conscious breathing supports clearer thinking and better decision-making.

This is at the heart of the SLENDS framework, developed through the work of Patrick McKeown and Dr. Buteyko:

Silent
Light
Effortless
Nasal
Diaphragmatic
Slow

Try this now: Close your mouth, soften your breath, and feel your belly gently rise and fall.

This may help you make better decisions today.
