Welcome to a series of eight episodes that focus on writing well and being well for writing. This is the fifth.
Taking a deep breath often makes us think about calming down. But we can use our breathing to get fired up too. The other part of the ‘flight and freeze’ response is the ‘fight’ instinct. If you find feeling like fighting gets you excited about writing, then a calming breath isn’t going to help you, you’ll need something to fire you up instead. Here is an energizing breath for firing up your writing.
This practice comes from Chapter 5, ‘Editing’ in Writing Well and Being Well for your PhD and Beyond.
Wake up your breath and your brain and your writing in this 2-minute breathing practice.
