Taking the lead from OS and the current interest in improving breathing at SF, I am trying to improve my normal breathing pattern.
However, when I conciously try to breath , diaphragmically, I always find that I tend to breath more often when the real goal as far as I understand is to breathe better but less.
Just breathe is not as obvious as it seems, which is the entire point of this practice.
Also, doing a few min of it as part of a warmup also doesn't hurt but doesn't seem to be the right approach as I have found with trying to improve my posture. You need to try to build it in to daily habits. When I am just waiting for example, for toast to pop, I take a few deep breaths. It is more of a GTG approach I am taking.
For those, not just doing a cool down or a warmup, how do you go about trying to improve regular diaphragmic breathing. I know there is Butekyo and Wim Hoff and lots of techniques out there, I am just talking about basic breathing pattern. I notice I hold my breath too much working on the computer, which might be a more widespread problem that we think.
Any tips on trying to make improved breathing unconscious behavior?
