So we've lost Wi-Fi on the left side.

So the breath helps because it brings the oxygen back to the prefrontal cortex.

So it allows time for clarity.

The bilateral tapping helps because you're bypassing critical faculty.

But then the forward-backward counting helps because you're giving your brain a real break and you're forcing it to think about something else.

So it goes like this.

Instead of going 1, 2, 3, 4, you go 2, 1, 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, 4, all the way up to 100.

So literally, you have to think about it.

It's even difficult for me, and I've done it so many times.

You have to concentrate on this forward-backward counting.

By the time you get to 100, the nervous system has had a time to settle a bit.
