Great article. Excellent in theory. Very insightful on a lot of levels. Just missing a tad more practice, to make this more actionable in exactly the situations you describe - screaming children, boardroom confrontations... Tough to do alternate nostril breathing in those situations 😉 That said, I gained two important insights. I think I've understood how Novak Djokovic is so calm as I noticed he does intentional nostril breathing when he is winded or if a match situation is stressful. Also that simply nostril breathing, with an exhale twice at long as there inhale can help calm the system... Thanks for these insights!
