Today is World Breathing Day.

You can’t just decide to slow your heart rate or digest faster, but you can choose to take a deep breath, and when you do, you send a powerful message to your body: “We’re safe, we’re okay.”

Founder of Breathless Expeditions, Johannes Egberts told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons, "The world is breathless today, anxiety levels are higher than ever, sleep has gone down, stress has gone up, and we're losing our breath in the process."

"The good news here is that we can also reclaim it."
