I held my breath for 2 minutes and 49 seconds. I never thought I could. I never really wanted to. I did, however, want to continue to find ways to challenge my mental toughness in stressful situations. So, when the opportunity to meet world record holding free diver, Will Trubridge, with my EO Board presented itself, I leaned in. After learning about what happens biologically to the body and best practices to relax in extreme situations, I moved to the pool. Having set a goal of 1:30, I breathed in and fought through to make it to 1:31, after literally wanting to stop after about a minute. Two tries later, each of which was full of uncomfortability, to say the least, I hit 2:49. Each step was really, really hard, from the first try, to putting on the nose clamps for the second try, to ultimately reaching what I thought previously impossible. My takeaway...control the mind, impact the outcome, and perhaps get closer to your real potential.
Allegedly Tom Cruise trained himself to hold his breath underwater for 6 minutes! You did almost half of that without being an action movie star. 🙌We truly cannot comprehend how much our body is capable of until we put it to the test.
That was fabulous!
Wow, 2:49 is amazing! Mind over matter!
That’s crazy and awesome. Tell me more at our next PV connection!
🙌 It was great having you at the experience Brian A. Hall and see you pushed beyond your comfort zone! William Trubridge and I, and the entire team at The Rebellion are thankful for your trust, and hope that living through what you are able to accomplish opened a new paradigm for you. Awesome work and we are looking forward to see you and the entire EO Austin chapter again soon!
It's amazing how much more we are capable of than we originally think sometimes! A good reminder that pushing past mental obstacles can take us to goals beyond our expectations.

Wow! That's super impressive. Love the observations about pushing past things that are uncomfortable.
Congratulations! Wishing you all the success!
Yes!!! We hope to see you again soon! It means a lot to our team that facilitated this experience (William Trubridge & Jordi Mullor) to hear the impact it had on you. Takes vulnerability and full commitment to really learned your limits and achieve what you did. EO Austin is in good hands for the the upcoming term. 👐
