Ep 9: When triggered, instant calm isn’t realistic — but here’s what does work

It’s not you. It’s timing.

Last week, we explored the common advice: “Just take a breath.” And we learned something important - a few seconds of breath helps, but it isn’t enough.

What those few seconds do give us is a micro-gap between trigger and reaction. They give us a moment of choice.

But here’s the part that is overlooked…the feeling doesn’t just disappear.

In this short podcast episode, we explore how long it actually takes for an emotion to move through the body and why. Plus, the important pro-tip that really matters if we want to stop getting pulled back into the reaction. (From personal exploration, this is a critical piece of the puzzle).

This podcast is quick listen, but empowering knowledge for knowing how to work with this amazing body you live in.

In the coming days, I’ll send through a short 5-minute micro-practice so you can feel the difference for yourself - the difference between a few seconds… and staying just a little longer.

How long? Listen in to find out.

Big hug - Jenafer
