Jake Burhans shows how breathing patterns shift your nervous system from fight-or-flight to calm. Try inhaling for four seconds and exhaling for six to eight seconds to settle stress and low-level emotions like guilt.
Biggest thing too, one of the biggest things is using your breath, using your breath to regulate your nervous system. Go from sympathetic to parasympathetic just by breathing, just by slowing your breath down, right? 4 seconds in, if you can do like a 6 or 8-second exhale, so he's gonna kick you right down out of that fight or flight system. So that's just like, and it's a daily practice. It's a daily practice every single day to decide that when you're in those old states of being, whether it's fight or flight or guilt or whatever the lower level emotion is, being aware of it and then returning to the state of being that you want to be in. So, but the breath is that thing that regulates the nervous system every single time. So super powerful thing.
