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

What if, what if, what if, what if?

It gets you out of what if thinking and back to what is in the here and the now.

And that shift is really important.

So try Stop, Breathe, Be.

Do it at several points in the day and try it for the next several months.

You will see a marked difference in your stress over time.

And the goal is really to move away from that maladaptive stress back to adaptive levels so it can serve you rather than harm you.

Well, you can be focused on anything because, you know, we were thinking about a million things all the time.

Right.

So stop.

You just stop.

And you tell yourself, you know, when I first started Stop, Breathe, Be, I would say that to myself under my breath in a very busy clinic.

And people might have thought I was nuts, but I did it anyway under my breath.

And I would just say, stop, breathe and be.

And then that's, you know, that breathe part is really important.

And the reason that breath is so important to recalibrate your stress response, and we can go as deep and scientific as you want.

It's that your breath is the only physiological process that is under voluntary control and involuntary control.

So your heartbeat doesn't do that.

Your digestion, your brainwaves, you know, those are involuntary, like things are just kind of happening.

But your breath is the only thing that is under voluntary and involuntary control, which means that you and I are hanging out, we're chatting and we're just breathing.
