However , it happens to be in that moment , um or moments across the five minutes . Uh There were reductions in the same sorts of markers of stress that I described but not as significant as breathing . So I love the Brock breathing tool , post workout .
So I love the Brock breathing tool , post workout . Um And there's some other alternatives there too uh that I just mentioned , but I think people greatly underestimate the potency of breathing for shifting one's nervous system function away from stress or if one wants toward more alertness and stress .
And so forth . Um So provided that there are extended exhales , it seems like the calming response and the reduction in overall stress occurs . The only thing that really send things in the other direction would be something like cyclic hyperventilation .
There's a lot of different things you can try . An easy example is just box breathing . So , and you can imagine box having four squares .
Give me three minutes of focused relaxation , breathing and that will accelerate the recovery process . I love it and I particularly love it because my laboratory works on stress and respiration , ok , breathing and the interactions between the two . And I'll just mention a result that was just accepted for publication .
