Flip Stress Off Like a Switch
May 18, 2025
This was said so well, I couldn't say it better myself.
Enjoy and apply.

"Here’s something few people realize:
Your breath is the only system in your body that’s both automatic… and completely under your control.
Why does that matter?
Because controlling your breath doesn’t just calm you down
It reprograms your nervous system and rewires the brain’s stress response.
In fact, controlled breathing has been shown to modulate the activity of the amygdala, your brain’s fear center
~ (Zaccaro et al., 2018, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience).
That means less reactivity and more calm….
Without pills, stimulants, or meditation apps.
A shallow gasp could be coding anxiety into your cells…
And every deliberate breath could supply instant relief.
Yet most of us treat breathing like background noise."
Further in the article Nathan indicates that proper breath work can help to cut cortisol by up to 32% even in high stress professionals, depression and anxiety levels can drop, along with inflammatory markers.
So, next time you feel anxious, depressed, or stressed, try breathing deeply and letting the air get all the way to the bottom of your lungs.
