Send us a text Ever wondered how a simple breathing technique can revolutionize your stress management? Tune into the Heroic Nation podcast as we unpack the transformative power of box breathing, also known as combat breathing. You'll learn how this powerful practice can effectively engage your parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, allowing you to manage stress and enhance your performance, especially in high-stress professions like law enforcement. We don’t shy away from the complexities either, tackling the often misunderstood concept of “excited delirium” to underscore the importance of a nuanced understanding in state management.Craving more tools for your stress management arsenal? We expand our conversation beyond combat breathing to include the benefits of cold exposure and various breathing techniques like nasal breathing and double inhales with slow exhales. These methods train your body to better handle the fight-or-flight response, essential for first responders facing high-pressure situations.
