The average human gets about 3 billion heartbeats in a lifetime. Three billion chances to feel alive.
Most of us burn through them like they’re unlimited — stressing, rushing, raging. But your heart pays for all of it. Chronic stress keeps it beating faster, and is linked to shorter lifespan.
But a calmer system runs more efficiently. Just breathing 10% slower adds 3-5 years to your life. Calm doesn’t guarantee longevity — but it stacks the odds heavily in your favor.
You can’t choose how many beats you start with. But you can choose how you use them.
