Happy Stress-Free Saturday, Hustle Less Live More community! Let's take a moment to unwind and recharge with a simple but powerful mindfulness practice: a 2.5-minute breathing exercise meditation. This quick meditation is designed to help you center yourself, reduce stress, and increase your focus. 2.5-Minute Breathing Exercise: 1. Find a Comfortable Position: Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose. 2. Focus on Your Breath: Exhale slowly through your mouth. Continue to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, focusing solely on your breath. 3. Count Your Breaths: Count to four as you inhale, hold your breath for a count of four, then exhale for a count of four. Repeat this cycle for the entire 2.5 minutes. 4. Notice Your Body: Pay attention to how your body feels with each breath. Notice any areas of tension and imagine them relaxing with each exhale. 5. Stay Present: If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath. This is a normal part of meditation and a great opportunity to practice mindfulness.

Yes, I am telling you to do nothing. Well, just eat nothing. Already decades ago, the Russians were among the first to conduct studies of the effect of fasting. And, what they found was astonishing: - Cancer cells decreased in 100% of the cases - The effect of chemotherapy got reduced when fasting 24h before - Anti-aging effects - Better digestion - Weight loss - More energy - ...the list goes on. There are various ways to fast: 1. Intermittent (16-18h) 2. 24-72h 3. Multiple days up to 2 weeks (some go longer) If you'd like to go on a multiple day fast, it may even be best to do that in an environment with additional support. E.g. there are fasting clinics or retreats that help you deal with whatever comes up but also enable you to persist longer and really follow through with your goal. I haven't yet made it beyond 24h. What's the longest you have fastest?

Yes, massages. We all know about them but take too little advantage of this amazing tool. While a general Google Search says that there are 7 types of massages: Swedish, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Aromatherapy, Thai, and Sports, many therapists may tell you that there are probably numerous more. Massages don't just help you relax, but they are a great tool to remind us to 'feel' our body again. They can help you: - Detox - Destress - Relax - Release tension - Reduce pain Often times, they are best enjoyed in the evening times without any commitments afterward and plenty of room for you to just relax and maybe even go to sleep not too long after. Ideally, you shouldn't eat anything within 90 minutes prior to the start of your massage in order to have a better effect. If you're not sure which massage type to go for, just ask your doctor or go with your intuition. My next one will be a lymphatic drainage massage. Which one will be your next one? If you don't have one scheduled, take this post as a sign, go ahead and schedule one, and tell us when it will be!
