"Do you feel that? Yes, it's a little chill in the air on these final summer mornings. Honestly, I love it - in fact, fall is my favorite time of the year. And while many children are headed back to school, professionals can also use this season's change to refocus after a summer of sun. Perhaps you're ready to check off your ever-growing to-do list, or clean out your garage just in time for Santa's return. Whatever you want to focus on, there are some tips to help you get there."
"Dr. Kien Vuu, a triple-board-certified physician who focuses on performance and longevity, told Business Insider how he gets focused for the day. Two words: Get moving. Vuu does a "quick routine based on qigong, a practice of gentle, mindful exercise that originates in traditional Chinese medicine," Business Insider's Gabby Landsverk reports. "Evidence suggests that short periods of exercise, particularly movements that raise your heart rate, can improve focus and help stave off the negative health effects of being sedentary." Another tip to help increase focus, Vuu said, is intentional breathwork. While there are many different breathing exercises to try, here's the simplest: "Inhale through your nose for four seconds, hold for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds," Landsverk says."
A subtle shift toward cooler mornings signals back-to-school season and a chance for professionals to refocus after summer. Short, mindful movement routines like qigong can raise heart rate and improve daily focus while countering the harms of prolonged sitting. Intentional breathwork, such as inhaling for four seconds, holding for seven, then exhaling for eight, can further enhance concentration. Low-impact activities like golf serve as sustainable exercise for longevity and can remain accessible after procedures such as hip replacement. Golf also cultivates skills like risk management, etiquette, and quick decision-making that transfer to other aspects of life.
