If you’re still active, working full-time, juggling kids, family obligations, no time to deal with the diagnosis – it’s easy to put your own healing on pause.
You tell yourself: “Later. When things calm down”
But often, later doesn’t come. And by the time it does your body may be even harder to reach.

That’s why I started breathwork back then. I realized – forget perfection. I’ll go for small and consistent just so I don’t lose time. Just 7 minutes a day. No perfection.

It felt small – but I knew it mattered.

Here’s why:
Every session improves lung capacity, strengthens your diaphragm, and trains your body to handle higher levels of carbon dioxide. That means better circulation, more oxygen to your brain and muscles, calmer nerves, less inflammation, and better recovery.

You build tolerance. You build endurance.
Your nervous system becomes more resilient.
Your stress response softens.
You literally reshape how your body reacts to pressure and pain.

While life was chaotic, I was still moving forward, quietly, physically. Training for the time when I could do more.

So when that time came, I wasn’t starting from zero. I was already much further along. I had momentum. And that makes all the difference.

You don’t have to fix everything now.
But you can start preparing.
