Lesson Overview

1.3 – How to Breathe Through a Meltdown: When emotions spiral, breathing becomes your lifeline. During a meltdown, your brain’s alarm system floods you with energy, making your heart race and thoughts scatter. By focusing on slow, deep breaths, you tell your nervous system it’s safe to calm down. Inhale through your nose for four counts, hold for two, and exhale gently through your mouth for six. That pattern slows the heart and clears the fog in your head. The key is consistency—breathing even when you don’t feel like it. Each breath brings oxygen back to your brain’s decision center, helping you think again. You’re not fighting your feelings; you’re regulating them through rhythm. Breathing reminds your body it’s not trapped—it’s capable. The more you practice in calm moments, the stronger this tool becomes when chaos hits. It’s a quiet superpower hidden in every exhale.
