Why is Growth important for you in Miami?
Between every stimulus and every response, there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose our response, and in our response lies our growth and our freedom.
Too often, we react automatically—driven by stress, emotion, or the pressure of the moment. We act out of a 'survival mode' that values speed over wisdom. Ancient traditions and elite performers alike have long used the breath to expand this space.
When you take a deep, conscious breath, you are sending a direct signal to your nervous system. You move from the reactive 'fight-or-flight' mode of the amygdala into the pro-active 'creator' mode of the prefrontal cortex. A decision that comes from the stillness of the breath has a different quality than one born in haste.
It is not reactive; it is strategic. Today, take the time to breathe so that you can gain the time to truly lead. By mastering the pause, you master your life.
The Mechanism
Deep, diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the Vagus Nerve, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest). This lowers cortisol and re-engages the prefrontal cortex, which is often 'offline' during high-arousal stress states, thereby improving executive function and impulse control.
Daily Execution Protocol
- PRACTICE BOX BREATHING Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and hold for 4. Use this technique—favored by Navy SEALs—to regain focus in high-pressure moments.
- USE THE BREATH-BUFFER Before you reply to a difficult email or enter a stressful meeting, take three slow, deep breaths. Let the 'stimulus' settle before you release the 'response.'
- CHECK YOUR TENSION Periodically check in with your body. Are your shoulders at your ears? Is your jaw clenched? Exhale the tension and soften your physical state to open your mental space.
