Purpose: Deliver value immediately
Here’s a simple regulation tool you can use anywhere.
When you notice your emotions rising:
- Pause
- Take a slow breath in through your nose
- Longer breath out through your mouth
- Name silently what you’re feeling (e.g. “tight”, “angry”, “overwhelmed”)
This helps bring the thinking brain back online.
You don’t need to fix the feeling.
Just create space before reacting.
Try this once today and notice what changes, even slightly.
