For years I struggled with receiving. I have always given abundantly but would feel uncomfortable receiving on the flip side. When I’m sent a heartfelt, articulate, testimonial share like this it not only fills my cup up, it warms my heart and confirms the work I’m doing is honoured and appreciated. Living your purpose has zero to do with luck, this path has been forged and has arrived through overcoming much adversity. Always diving deep, removing layers and evolving. Life’s a journey and a constant playground for lessons and growth. #healingjourney #growthmindset #coach #performancecoach #seekdiscomfort #journey

A simple, objective measure of breathlessness and of chemosensitivity to carbon dioxide. The breath is held after a normal exhalation until the first definite desire to breathe. The time of the breath hold is counted in seconds. This gives you your BOLT score. A BOLT score lower than 25 seconds indicates a stronger ventilatory response to CO2 and dysfunctional breathing. During the normal respiratory cycle, carbon dioxide accumulates in the blood. When the body is overly sensitive to the build-up of carbon dioxide, breathing becomes harder during rest, physical exercise and in sleep apnea patients. This is because CO2 plays an important role in respiratory biochemistry, providing the primary stimulus to breathe and facilitating the release of oxygen from the red blood cells to the tissues and organs. To obtain an accurate measurement, it’s best to rest for ten minutes before measuring your BOLT score. Read the instructions carefully first and have a timer on hand. You can measure your BOLT now: Take a normal breath in through your nose and allow a normal breath out through your nose. Hold your nose with your fingers to prevent air from entering your lungs. Time the number of seconds until you feel the first definite desire to breathe, or the first stresses of your body urging you to breathe. These sensations may include the need to swallow or a constriction of the airways. You may also feel the first involuntary contractions of your breathing muscles in your abdomen or throat as the body gives the message to resume breathing. Release your nose, stop the timer, and breathe in through your nose. Record your BOLT Score and post in comments 🌬️

Benefits of activating Red Light: 1) Sleep and Circadian Rhythm: 😴 Red light wavelengths are less disruptive to the body's natural sleep processes compared to blue or white light, which can suppress melatonin production and interfere with sleep. Red light at night can help regulate the circadian rhythm by keeping cortisol levels low, which is important for transitioning to sleep. Also, for shift workers, red light can be used to stay awake without disrupting melatonin production or increasing cortisol at night. 2) Vision and Eye Health: 👁️ Red light therapy can potentially offset age-related vision loss by enhancing mitochondrial function in the photoreceptors of the retina. It may also help reduce drusen, which are fatty deposits in the eye associated with age-related macular degeneration. 3) Stress Reduction: 🧘🏽‍♂️ Red and infrared light therapies are known to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps counteract the stress response. By promoting relaxation, these therapies can reduce the physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety. When do I Enable This Feature?⌚️ Aim for 2 hours before you plan to go to sleep, as this will bring you the maximum benefits. Although if you can only do 30 minutes to 1 hours before sleep, it is still vastly healthier for your sleep then not doing it at all. Automation: 🦾 You can often set up a schedule to automatically turn on the red light filter at a specific time, such as sunset to sunrise or a custom time. This helps reduce decision fatigue while still gaining the benefits of this effective technique. Here's how to enable it: 1. Open Settings: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.  2. Accessibility: Scroll down and tap on Accessibility.  3. Display & Text Size: Tap on Display & Text Size.  4. Color Filters: Tap on Color Filters.  5. Enable Color Filters: Toggle the switch to turn on Color Filters.  6. Choose Color Tint: Select Color Tint as the filter type.  7. Adjust Intensity and Hue: Adjust the sliders for Intensity and Hue until you achieve the desired level of red.  8. Accessibility Shortcut (Optional): For quick access, go to Accessibility Shortcut (at the bottom of the Accessibility settings) and add Color Filters to the shortcut. You can then triple-click the side button (or home button if your device has one) to toggle the red screen on or off.
