🔄 Break the Loop 1/7: Flip the Switch on Fear #MakingMovesMonday

You ever notice how stress sneaks up before you even know it’s there? One moment you’re just checking your email, and the next your heart is pounding like you’re being chased.

That’s your amygdala, the little alarm bell in your brain, pulling the fire alarm before there’s even smoke.

The truth is, we’re still carrying around wiring from cave days. It kept us alive when lions were nearby, but now it jumps at traffic jams and text messages.

The good news is you can break the cycle. Your breath is the quickest switch you’ve got.

Try this: take a slow inhale, then let the exhale last twice as long.

That simple rhythm tells your vagus nerve, the body’s “calm line,” to kick in.

Do it often enough, and your brain starts to build a new pathway.

As Stephen Covey said, “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.”

That’s exactly what this practice gives you: a little space to choose calm over chaos.

So here’s today’s challenge. Pick one thing you know sets you off. Maybe it’s a noisy commute, maybe it’s a tough email. Or if you’re an athlete, think of that moment before a free throw, a snap, or a penalty kick when nerves creep in. Use the breath then. See how quickly your body shifts from tense to steady.

🎧 Hit play and let’s talk about flipping that inner switch so stress doesn’t run the show.
