You never thought of using a kettlebell like this

We often become chronically stressed with low levels of stressors in our lives.

This can lead to aberrant breathing patterns. Which then creates a viscous cycle. We're stressed, so we breathe poorly.

Then we breathe poorly and we become stressed.

Placing a kettlebell in your lower abdominals creates proprioceptive input that makes it easy for your body to perform a healthy breathing pattern.

The reason this works so well is that it takes the load off your ability to consciously control your breath.

All you have to do is focus on the kettlebell (or weight).

Try it for 5 minutes Use a weight that is about 5% of your body weight to start.

Cultivate Community for Your Health

In the biopsychosocial approach to health, the social part unfortunately gets over looked.

This becomes a problem for our health.

We need to focus on cultivating community as much as we do working out, eating right, and sleeping well.

Community is a powerful source of life satisfaction and life expectancy.

It's where we know each other, help each other, and find purpose in contributing to each other's lives.
