When stress triggers fight, flight, or freeze, your prefrontal cortex loses oxygen and you can't think straight. Counting to ten while breathing deeply restores oxygen to that part of your brain and lets logic back in.

Chapters

A stress response is a response when our body gets prepared to fight, flight, or freeze in a situation. This happens when the oxygen supply from our prefrontal cortex, which is our logical brain, gets disrupted. So since our brain does not get enough oxygen, we are not in a position to take any logical decisions, and we end up making mistakes that we regret later. So how can we handle such stress responses? Count till 10 and take deep breaths to send the oxygen back to your prefrontal cortex. Once you do that, the brain understands it's not a threat situation and it calms down, and the logical brain starts working again. Try it next time.
