My bolt score (#866881) was tanking lately because I got so busy in my professional life and neglected my breathing practice.
I am now setting myself the goal of a 35 seconds score minimum, and developed a new training plan that, to my surprise, produced instant results! I clocked 40 seconds again for the first time this year and was able to change the trend of the weekly and monthly curves. 💪
Here's a screenshot of my practice plan. I call it the LSD breath: Long, Slow, Diaphragmic breathing (always through the nose)
- 10 seconds inhale / 5 seconds hold / 15 sec exhale / 5 sec hold
- 9 / 5 / 16 /6
- 8/5/17/7
- 7/5/18/8
- 6/5/19/9 (*)
- 5/5/20/10 (*)
(*) New round added today. I will practice this updated set in a few minutes after I've digested my dinner.
I found and bought this interval timer app on Google play for 5 bucks.
My wife was let go two years ago, and hasn't been able to find a permanent job since, only three short term contracts. The job market here is brutal, especially in her sector, but also because she was very senior, and the job market is flooded with applicants.
She's now retaining as a career coach but it will take years for her business to reach the same levels of successes.
How to deal with anxiety? I tell her to remember there are things she can control, and things she can't, and how good she is at the things under her control.
Also, financially, she's/we're ok (still)

You'll be surprised to hear that this is not an always enough, depending on factors like your location, or whether you have sun cream etc.
One more thing I've learned about vitamin d is that it takes a minimum of a couple of weeks for it to be processed by your liver and become active. I remember that during the COVID pandemic, some scientists dismissed its efficacy because they omitted this important factor.
Calcifediol, the active form of vitamin d can be bought in pharmacies, but in most countries only with a prescription (Italy and Spain are two exceptions) and doctors are often reluctant to prescribe it to you. I think I'll bring an empty luggage next time I'm going to Italy, and will start a new career as calcifediol dealer... 😎
On the Russian/Ukraine conflict, you have those who believe that the conflict started in 2022 with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and those who believe it started in 2014 with the coup against the then democratic elected president of Ukraine (or even before, when NATO made it clear to Russia of it plans to expand eastwards, contrary to what had been agreed after the fall of the Berlin Wall)
These two point of views are irreconcilable. Most people I know who belong to the first group see Putin as the aggressor, Trump as a Russian asset, etc, whereas those in the second group, like you, see it with more nuance.
I have a screenshot somewhere in my phone, of a November 2011 bitcoin article in the german newspaper Der Spiegel that I shared with a relative of mine...
I love the fish!
Why but OJ when you can so easily make it yourself, and have more control over what goes in? 😀
This is one of my favourite territories. I would like to find time to share my experience with breath work, and how increasing your CO2 tolerance can improve your health, focus, performance, and successfully help with pain relief.
I wanted to do something similar in Cameroon, we had a product but never launched, the bureaucracy got the better of us. It's so difficult to innovate on fiat systems! 😮💨
If the US want to remain the leader in the new multipolar world, one thing they cannot afford anymore is complacency, ie lack of accountability and meritocracy, gender ideology, etc, as well as all the crazy stuff that has been the trademark of recent liberal democracies. Trump gets this, Europe still hasn't woken up to that new reality, and it desperately should, very quickly, before it's too late.
