The brain operates much like a human computer, working in constant partnership with the central nervous system (CNS) to prioritize one main goal: safety. But our nervous system was built for a prehistoric world—a world of immediate, physical danger—not the fast-paced, noisy, and overstimulating reality we face today. As a result, we can become disconnected from our internal cues, unaware of just how safe—or unsafe—we truly feel in any given moment.
Over time, the CNS builds layers of micro-decisions based on perceived threats, many of them happening beneath our conscious awareness. One of the most accurate indicators of whether your system feels safe is your breath. Is it long, quiet, and deep, with your diaphragm moving freely? Or is it shallow, tight, and restricted? The quality of your breathing reveals the quality of your nervous system’s state.
