Ever felt that unintentional breath-holding while managing your inbox? You're not alone! Email apnea is more common than you think, affecting us all.

It happens to 80% of us. It's when you hold your breath or experience shallow breathing when you read an email or work online.

Why should you care? Shallow breathing may not sound like a big deal, but it is. It increases your stress, changes your behavior, and ultimately reduces your efficiency at work.

How can you heal from email apnea?? Close your eyes and take slow deep breaths. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system which allows you to stay calm and relaxed.

The next time you start to feel anxious while reading an email stop and try this breathing exercise. Let's take a moment to recognize and address this phenomenon for a healthier, more mindful approach.
