Your Nervous System at Work
Stress builds when the gas stays pressed. Your breath is the brake.
Your nervous system runs two settings all day: one that revs you up and one that settles you down. The guide explains both, the signals that tell you which one is running, and three quick tools to press the brake.
Find the brake.
Three tools, from one breath to one minute. Practice them in calm moments so they are ready in the hard ones.
- Long Slow ExhaleIn through your nose for 4, out through soft lips for 6 to 8.
- The Nose CheckFive low, slow breaths through your nose.
- Physiological SighTwo inhales through the nose, one long exhale through the mouth.
