The invisible weight of your nervous tension
Stiff neck, clenched jaw, shortness of breath... Sound familiar?
Thisnervous tensionsets in without warning, like an elastic band stretched too tight in your body. We often think it comes from stress, screens, obligations... But we forget one essential detail: breathing plays a key role in our nervous state.
Breathing quickly and poorly sends a constant warning signal to the brain. Conversely, controlled breathing calms tensions, slows down the flow of thoughts, and frees the body.
Discover how to breathe better to release nervous tension!
Why does breathing affect your nervous tension?
Breathing is a bridge between your body and mind, capable of activating either alert mode or relaxation mode.
đčWhen you breathe quickly and shallowly(through your chest) â Your sympathetic nervous system activates (fight-or-flight mode). The result: muscle tension, mental agitation, and rising stress levels.
đč When you breathe slowly and deeply (using your diaphragm) â Your parasympathetic nervous system takes over (rest and recovery mode). The result: your body relaxes, nervous tension decreases, and you feel calm overall.
The key to easing your nervous tension?
Learn to breathe smoothly and rhythmically. And for that, there's nothing better thancoherent breathing abdominal breathing.

2ïžâŁ Place one hand on your stomach and the other on your chest
3ïžâŁ Inhale slowly, filling only your stomach
4ïžâŁ Exhale gently, pulling your stomach in
5ïžâŁ Repeat for 5 to 10 minutes
