We often hear the advice: “Just take a breath.” But what is that actually doing?
In this short episode, we explore what a few seconds of breathing can — and can’t — do when you’re triggered.
Is it enough? The short answer is, no. But it is an important step and one that shouldn’t be missed.
If you’ve ever found yourself reacting in ways you wish you didn’t, this will help you understand what’s happening in your amazing body, so that you can actually work with it in real moments.
Over the next few weeks, I’m exploring how breathing can help us respond more wisely in triggered/high emotional moments. I’m looking at the science, how long it really takes, and experimenting with it in my own life.
I’ll share what I’m learning, along with simple tools you can try.
Have a quick listen (4-minutes) and try this alongside me this week. We’re learning together.
