TED Talks Daily · Feeling stressed? The answer isn’t to “just relax” | Aditi Nerurkar · 28 Apr 2025 podcast

And so I have very much walked the talk.

So all of these techniques that I share in my work, in my book, in my talks, I use them every single day, like truly every single day.

One that we can start with is the one that I learned and is stop, breathe and be.

I learned this from

a class that I took called Mindfulness for Healthcare Providers.

I was a stressed out medical resident and a lovely colleague of mine, Dr. Michael Boehm at the University of Pennsylvania taught us this technique.

I have used it to this day and I did it in fact, right before we joined our call.

Stop, breathe, be.

It's a three second brain reset and we can all do it together.

What you want to do is whatever you're doing right now, just stop, breathe,

And B, ground yourself in the present moment.

Stop, breathe, be when you practice it over and over again throughout the day and ideally use it at transition points of the day.

So when you're clicking join Zoom, when you're moving in and out of rooms, say a boardroom or a meeting room, when you're running to go pick up your kids or rushing off to an activity, it's a great strategy to use.

I personally learned it when I was a medical resident and I would knock on the exam room door right before entering the room.

It was my doorknob moment.

And as I would turn the doorknob to enter the exam room, I would say to myself, stop, breathe, be.

And what that did over time is that it connected

me to my mind body connection so it made me aware of my mind body connection and the you know we can talk a little bit about what the mind body connection is but the reason stop breathing works so well as like the gateway to learning about how to manage your stress and rewire your brain is because it taps into your mind body connection it helps to influence it for better and what it does is it gets you out of that what if thinking which is you know anxiety is a future focused emotion it's really not very much about what if so what if

What if I fail?

What if this doesn't go well?
