Acquire: Breathe like your life depends on it

Clearly, you are alive which means some breath is getting in. The problem is not with baseline survival it is with an abundance of air. Enough air to satisfy survival, optimal health, AND a wealth of communication.

Stop thinking about breathing as if it is only about the physical realm. Think of breath as the fuel for everything you want to achieve.

Your task today is to make a point to breathe in through your nose slowly, as if you are smelling the most amazing thing. Then, exhale audibly through your mouth as if that breath was EVERYTHING.

Also, watch this cool video of a lion roaring and note how well he supports his breathing (and with it the sound) with abdominal contraction.
