Earlier today I tried a simple form for 10 minutes : sit straight up , close your eyes , and pay close attention to every breath . The first couple of minutes felt like an eternity ; I was n't sure I would last for ten . It felt like my heart was beating too fast or too hard ; it was pretty uncomfortable .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
Why was the narrator focusing on their breath ?


They were getting a routine in .
