There are a number of ways to improve your health. Some start by going on a diet. Others start going to the gym. And, still others begin by jogging. Unfortunately, there is more often failure than success with these approaches. Not because people are weak but because they fail to identify and address the four pillars that can bring them success. 1/ They first need to improve their breathing. 2/ Then they need to improve there sleep. Only then can they 3/ focus on losing weight and 4/ building muscle. Of course mastering mindset strategies that improve their chances of success help seal the deal.

A Yogic breathing exercise called Nadi Shodhana: Close your right nostril with your thumb and inhale through the left nostril, then close the left nostril and exhale through the right. Switch nostrils after each inhale and exhale. Repeat for 2 to 5 minutes.
