Why It Works
Under stress, the thinking brain goes partly offline. Slow breathing with a longer exhale engages the parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) nervous system, and putting feelings into words — affect labeling — has been shown to reduce emotional reactivity (Lieberman et al., Psychological Science, 2007). Choosing your next step restores your sense of agency.
