      Your physiology and your emotions are linked. You cannot be in a state of ‘fight or flight’ while taking slow, deep diaphragmatic breaths.

      By controlling your breath, you send a signal to your nervous system that you are safe, regardless of what’s happening externally.

      Takeaway: Use the 4-7-8 breathing technique (inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8) whenever you feel a surge of emotion.
