Sometimes we suffocate. However, oxygen is vital. Breathing well is the key to mental and physical balance. Philosopher Marie Robert, podcast author Philosophy is sexy tells us how to work on your breathing.
Miss Figaro. – “I snorkeled”, “Under the water”, “I’m drowning”. this is what more and more people are saying when they talk about their work. What inspires you?
Marie-Robert. – That today we have a real incarnation problem. We live in a society where thought has taken a big place. This is where this new attraction to breathing comes from, as it allows for a connection between the brain, mind and emotion – the blood flow. When we breathe, we descend again into the body. We descend again very quickly. For me, the urgency is to return to the physical, to movement, and breathing is the very first movement.

It is also the breath of life…
Yes, and moreover, Nietzsche’s breath is the fundamental metaphor. When a baby is born, we spend the first few weeks of its life checking its breathing. The current breath appeal is not a trend. what is at stake here is our relationship with the living.
Is it a pressing, imprisoning work?
It’s not just him and I find it crazy that people attack him so much. In the workplace, as in our personal lives, we must learn to step aside and ask ourselves: what am I doing to harm myself? What is “taking my breath away”? What takes our breath away, I think, is the constant stimulus. Incessant requests from our partners, from our children… Interruption, interruption of messages. We have fifty WhatsApp groups, Instagram feeds, LinkedIn feeds, news, email. letters.
A way to change the situation.
Find long spaces, an hour of sports, reading, or other where you don’t have your phone, where you won’t be disturbed, to concentrate for a long time. I think this is the antidote that can allow us to breathe.
