Dallas Bragg shows how shallow breathing signals emotional overwhelm. Check your body three times daily with a 30-second scan from toes to temples, then breathe into tense spots to release stuck emotions and catch triggers before they take over.
One telltale sign that you are experiencing a mental hijacking is short, quick, shallow breathing. Check in with your body at least 3 times a day. To do a body scan, just close your eyes and put awareness in, in your body from your toes up to your temple. It takes 30 seconds. Where are you feeling tension? Turn your awareness there and breathe into that area. Being in tune with physical sensations allows you to move stuck emotions and helps predict when you're being triggered.
