Discover the ABC of Health... Alignment, Breath, and Circulation; the three free habits that supercharge every other wellness practice. In this episode, Katie Brindle explains how to align with seasonal rhythms (bedtime, wake time, meals, and movement), master a calm lingering breath (plus the sigh and FR exhale), and reboot your circulation with simple daily movement, cold-water finishes, shaking, and tapping.
What you’ll learn:
- Why alignment with daylight & seasons (yin/yang) makes sleep, food and exercise work better.
- A simple breathing routine to shift into the parasympathetic, reduce stress, and support gut motility via the diaphragm.
- Everyday circulation boosters: step goals, lunchtime winter movement, cold shower finishes, shaking & tapping routines
Try the 7-day ABC challenge: journal sleep/wake/meals/movement, practice the lingering breath daily, and add one minute of shaking/tapping (or a cold finish) after washing your hands or while the kettle boils.
