### 5/5 — Nichts erwartet und doch überrascht

*2026-07-31*

Hab’s mal ausprobiert. Es hat auf jeden Fall seine Daseinsberechtigung. 

Nach meinem ersten Testen, einer 20 Minuten Atmenübung, muss ich zugeben, dass ich mich tatsächlich Positiv anders fühle. 

Ich denke allerdings, dass der Testzeitraum  zu kurz angesetzt ist. Ich würde schon gerne eine Woche testen können, um zu schauen, ob das wirklich funktioniert und meinen Alltag positiv beeinflusst.
