I have chronic pain. I have the bad habit of holding my breath.
I've learned some different mindful breathing techniques. Very helpful. While I'm doing them.
But what about the rest of the day? How do I improve my breathing while I'm not paying attention?
My initial goal is consistent 6 breaths per minute. Keep breathing, in & out, in & out.
I'm looking for tools (feedback mechanisms) to monitor my breathing. Especially when I'm holding my breath.
Am noob, so I don't know the sciences. My understanding is that inferring breath from tracking heart rate variability works pretty good during sleep. (FWIW, my Apple Watch 10 says I average 8 bpm at night.)
I'd appreciate any tips, links, recommendations. I'd happily wear a device, just to get started.
