Episode 14: Tactical Breathing: A Simple Technique to Calm Stress and Regain Focus

Your MindBody Link

This episode covers a powerful technique called "Tactical Breathing" that can help you reset, refocus and recharge in under 7 minutes.
Tactical breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, the body's natural "rest and digest" system, to interrupt the stress response
The technique involves a 5-count rhythm for inhaling, holding, exhaling, and pausing the breath. This helps slow the heart rate, calm the nervous system, and reduce cortisol (the primary stress hormone).
Practicing tactical breathing daily, even for just a minute, can build resilience to stress, improve focus, ease anxiety, and support restful sleep.
Carolanne Ashley demonstrates the tactical breathing technique step-by-step and encourages listeners to try it out whenever they need a quick reset, such as before a big meeting or event, or before bed.
Tactical breathing is presented as a reliable "reset button" that is always available to help you find calm and balance, no matter what life throws your way.
We hope you enjoy this short mind moment, quick, powerful sessions designed to fit seamlessly into your day.
These moments offer simple tools to help you reset, refocus and recharge in under seven minutes, ready for fresh pause that brings calm and balance.
