đ Break the Loop 1/7: Flip the Switch on Fear #MakingMovesMonday
You ever notice how stress sneaks up before you even know itâs there? One moment youâre just checking your email, and the next your heart is pounding like youâre being chased.
Thatâs your amygdala, the little alarm bell in your brain, pulling the fire alarm before thereâs even smoke.
The truth is, weâre 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 youâve got.
Try this: take a slow inhale, then let the exhale last twice as long.
That simple rhythm tells your vagus nerve, the bodyâs âcalm line,â to kick in.
Do it often enough, and your brain starts to build a new pathway.
As Stephen Covey said, âBetween stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.â
Thatâs exactly what this practice gives you: a little space to choose calm over chaos.
So hereâs todayâs challenge. Pick one thing you know sets you off. Maybe itâs a noisy commute, maybe itâs a tough email. Or if youâre 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.
đ§ Hit play and letâs talk about flipping that inner switch so stress doesnât run the show.
