Regulate Fast With Belly And Box Breaths
- Notice your breathing and shift to belly (diaphragmatic) breaths to calm your nervous system.
- Try box breathing: inhale four, hold four, exhale four, hold four to steady body and mind.
Try Power Breathing To Sap Arousal
- Use power (Wim Hof–style) breathing in short reps to activate then let arousal dissipate, but stop if lightheaded.
- Do 10 quick full breaths, rest ~20 seconds, repeat once or twice and notice the calming drop.
Anchor With 5-4-3-2-1 Senses
- Use the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory checklist: five sights, four touches, three sounds, two smells, one taste.
- Practice this mindfulness anywhere to anchor attention to the present and lower anxiety or arousal.
