| SHA Well-being video: using your breath and body The video "Using Your Breath and Body" introduces Tactical Calm — a quick, science-based way to steady yourself when stress takes over. By using your breath to activate the vagus nerve, you can slow your heart rate, think more clearly, and regain control during high-pressure moments. The video walks you through a simple breathing pattern: inhale through your nose for three seconds, exhale through your mouth for five seconds. Even one minute can make a difference. Watch the video and download the Practice Resource to try Tactical Calm today.
