Hi, two suggestions that work for me: 1) The Wim Hof method. How to do it: [LINK] Guided session: [VIDEO] 2) Reveri - self hypnosis app: [LINK] Also, do you get enough sunlight during the day? They say it balances your circadian rythm. Some other resources that might be helpful: [LINK] [LINK]

Thanks for this. My pensioner mother came back from the doctors yesterday with a chest infection, on top of this she has mild bronchitis. I've just sent her this exercises as I'm hoping it might improve her lung health. Although i did send her this one which is a bit easier: [VIDEO] But thanks for posting it, I never knew about this method. Just tried it myself and it rocks.

I got into doing this Wim Hof breathing exercise a few years ago and it was definitely intense. Unsure if this is related but sounds similar. [VIDEO]
