This is 5 Minute Friday!

Breath is the link between the mind and the body.

Dan Brull.

Breathing is the number one thing to give your mind a reset.

When I'm feeling nervous or stressed out, overwhelmed or catching myself,

overthinking about something, breathing exercises can help me get back to a calm and relaxed and in control state of being.

The power of breath is that it lets you steer your energy.

That means it's guiding you towards your vision.

When we are out of breath, we are out of control.

When our mind is out of control, our breathing typically follows.

But when I get on stage before a big speech, when I play in front of a big game with the USA national team,

even before my Monday meeting calls with my team, I breathe.

Even on our team calls, we do breathing exercises to guide us and steer us in the direction we want to go for that week.

It's one of the most powerful things you can do every single day or in any moment of stress is to breathe.

But breath is one of those topics that people love to overcomplicate and confuse.

That's why I want to share with you today three very simple breathing habits and tools.

You can try them out here live as they're listening.

But my hope is that you go ahead and implement at least one of these habits in your daily life.

The first thing is to bring awareness to your breath.

Now we're breathing all the time, but we rarely pay attention to our breathing.

By taking a moment to bring your awareness to your breath just as it is, you can get out of your head and into the present moment.

So really think about it in this moment.
