Is Your Breath Making You Anxious?

Your breath may be one of the most overlooked contributors to anxiety, stress, and nervous system dysregulation.

In this episode of Regulating Your Nervous System in a Dysregulated World, we explore how the way you breathe directly influences your autonomic nervous system—and how retraining your breath can calm your body, quiet your mind, and optimize your health.

Many people unknowingly breathe in ways that keep their nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight. The good news? Your breath is also one of the fastest ways to shift back into safety and regulation.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How breathing patterns affect the autonomic nervous system

Why certain breathing habits can create or amplify anxiety

The difference between nasal breathing vs. mouth breathing

How shallow chest breathing impacts stress and focus

Why diaphragmatic breathing supports calm, clarity, and resilience

How to retrain your brain and body to breathe more efficiently

A simple breathing technique you can use immediately to come into a state of calm.

This episode is both educational and experiential, helping you understand what’s happening in your body—and giving you a practical tool to begin changing it.

This episode is for you if you:

Feel anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed for no clear reason

Notice shallow breathing, breath holding, or frequent sighing

Experience poor sleep, tension, or difficulty relaxing

Want science-backed tools to regulate your nervous system naturally

NOTE: Do not participate in visualizations or breathing techniques while operating a vehicle.
