I decided to try a breath hold challenge even though I’m feeling pretty sick today. My nose is blocked, my chest feels heavy, and breathing normally already feels like work… so of course I thought it would be a good idea to push myself and see how long I could hold my breath. You can actually see how much harder it is for me, my breathing is messy and I have to really focus before each attempt. I take a few deep breaths and then hold it as long as I possibly can, fighting the urge to breathe while my body clearly isn’t cooperating today. My face gets tense, my chest starts tightening, and you can tell how badly I want to inhale again. Let’s see if I can still beat my usual time even while sick… or if my body completely betrays me.
