Ever found yourself in a moment of emotional reaction—only to regret it later?

In this solo episode of Unbreakable Mind, Gabriel explores the critical shift from reaction to action, and why mastering that gap is the foundation of true mental strength.

Most of us believe our emotions are shaped entirely by what happens around us. Someone cuts us off in traffic—we get angry. A coworker criticizes us—we shut down. But what if those external triggers didn’t dictate how long we stayed in that emotional loop?

Gabriel unpacks how to spot when you're stuck in a reaction state and introduces practical techniques to move deliberately into action. You’ll hear stories from real life (including a heated encounter with an Uber driver), tools from military mental training, and breathing methods you can use immediately.

Whether you’re dealing with stress, conflict, or high-pressure situations, this episode equips you with a framework to act with intention—rather than react on impulse.

• Why emotional reaction is natural—but staying in it is a choice

• The breathing shift that helps you transition from reaction to action

• How to mirror the behavior of your “ideal self” in moments of stress

• What stress zones (green, yellow, red, black) are and how to move through them
