Breathing is autonomic. You obviously can't try to "improve" it all day.
- agumonkey 5y agoYour body isn't perfect, your hormone levels / nervous system state can derail the healthy autonomous response. Having a sense of that, and knowing how to allocate some time to reset it a bit (deep breathing to relax arteries, slow down heart rate) is valuable I believe.
- shane_b 5y agoA lot of improvements to breathing come as secondary effects from other things. For example, wake posture, sleep posture, nose vs mouth, etc. Any conscious breathing is short like you mention but I still think it builds a habit of breathing the practiced way. Like exercise or learning a skill.
