I was down to no floatations after the tenth hour of my thread water journey. After an additional five hours(15 hours) without the belt,I was doing vertical thread for one minute. I noticed that I was still sculling faster than slower and still bit fearful and tense. My default or assurance that I wasn’t going to drown was tilting my head back,‘sitting on a chair’ as you taught in your video, breathing normal through nose. I’ve been keeping air in my diaphragm during this whole process and now I’m confident enough to closely breathing normal. My relaxation is at 7-8 rating with 17 hours of completed practice. Just knowing that I have that range of thread Coach Jeff is my solace even though I want to accomplish more time threading vertical. Hoping it will get better or progress as I am already close to 20 hours(about 3 more). Thanks for everything.
