Lengthen Your Exhale — On Purpose
Your breath is one of the fastest ways to change your nervous system.
Lengthening your exhale:
improves heart rate variability (HRV) 🫀
supports calm in both wake and sleep 😴
strengthens nervous system resilience
supports long-term health and longevity 🌿
A longer exhale activates the parasympathetic nervous system —
the part of your body responsible for rest, repair, digestion, and healing.
It’s simple:
Inhale through your nose.
Exhale slowly.
Fully clear your lungs.
Let your system settle.
No equipment.
No technique.
No routine needed.
Just remind yourself throughout the day.
Try this:
See if you can lengthen your exhale once every hour ⏰

How does my body feel when I shift my breath toward calm instead of speed?
