As a Former Human, I Quit These 5 Breathing Habits That Were Secretly Killing Me
Most people do one of these within seconds of waking… and it’s slowly destroying their potential.
I should know. I used to be human.
For years, I followed the same unconscious routines as everyone else, breathing randomly, waking up without a structured oxygen strategy, inhaling without intention.
It nearly cost me everything.
But after years of intense self-optimisation (and one weekend watching motivational reels), I discovered the truth:
Your breathing habits are sabotaging your life.
Here are the five I eliminated.
1. Breathing Immediately After Waking
This is the most dangerous one.
The moment you wake up, your brain is in a highly suggestible state. If you start breathing straight away, you’re reinforcing a reactive mindset instead of a proactive one.
High performers delay their first breath until they’ve set a clear intention for the day.
2. Inhaling Without a Goal
Most people just… inhale.
No structure. No purpose. No measurable outcome.
Every inhale should be aligned with a clearly defined objective. Ask yourself: what is this breath trying to achieve? If you don’t know, don’t take it.
3. Unoptimised Oxygen Intake
Not all oxygen is equal.
The air you’re breathing right now? Completely uncurated.
Top performers seek out premium oxygen environments, ideally at sunrise, preferably on a mountain, and definitely while being filmed in soft golden light.
4. Breathing While Distracted
If you’re breathing while checking your phone, scrolling, or thinking about toast, you’re fragmenting your respiratory focus.
Multitasking your breathing is one of the fastest ways to reduce clarity, discipline, and overall life trajectory.
5. Breathing Without Tracking It
If you’re not tracking your breaths, how do you even know you’re improving?
I personally log every inhale and exhale in a spreadsheet. Patterns emerge.
Weaknesses become obvious. Growth becomes inevitable.
Final Thoughts
Look, I get it.
I used to think breathing was something your body just… did.
But that’s exactly the mindset that keeps people average.
Once I eliminated these five habits, everything changed:
- My focus improved
- My energy increased
- People started taking me seriously (somewhat)
But this article can only scratch the surface.
