One of the fastest ways to reduce stress and return to a settled state. Two inhales. One long exhale. That is all it takes.
Your nervous system has shifted. Ground in this for a moment before you return to the screen.
Inhale slowly through your nose. Let the chest expand first. This fills the upper lungs.
Without exhaling, take a second short inhale through the nose. Let the belly expand. This fully inflates the alveoli — the tiny air sacs in the lungs that collapse under stress.
Exhale slowly and completely through the mouth. The long exhale activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the rest and recover state. This is where the reset happens.
One round is enough to shift your state. Three rounds compounds the effect. Use before a session, after a loss, or any moment when you feel the force starting to run the show.
Ground first.
You are the anchor. Everything else is the trade.
