Manage Acute Stress

Get a grip on the situation by using calm breathing. The rate of breathing regulates how your body responds to stress.

Combat Tactical Breathing

Used by the military and law enforcement personnel to reduce stress and maintain bodily function and cognitive performance in dangerous situations (2).
Science shows that daily breathing exercises can increase your stress resilience (1). This appears to be effective as a preventive measure (2) or after a serious incident (3,4).
