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

But then when you say, take a deep breath in and out, you are actually influencing your breath.

So it's a really powerful tool.

That's why the breath is so important when you're managing stress.

And the reason the breath is so important is because it's truly a toggle, like on and off switch, because

When you're feeling anxious, you have shallow breathing.

So you have thoracic breathing.

You're breathing from your chest.

It's rapid and it's shallow thoracic breathing.

But in the end, that's it kind of triggers.

It's the sympathetic nervous system, which is your fight or flight response.

And we can go all down that route if you want.

And that is what triggers, you know, the cortisol and amygdala.

And it's the cave person mode.

It's like survival, self-preservation.

And when you feel that sense of acute stress, that's what's happening.

But if you practice stop, breathe B and various breathing techniques, I have like four or five breathing techniques in the five resets and we can do a bunch of them today.

What happens is you instead of that sympathetic, shallow, thoracic breathing, you move into your diaphragm, what we call domino breathing.

It's called diaphragmatic breathing.

And immediately what that does is when you take those deep breaths.

You trigger your brain.
