DR10 seconds could change your entire nervous system response.
When something triggers you—a comment, a text, a thought—your brain wants to react immediately.
Your amygdala fires. Stress hormones flood. You respond from survival mode.
But here’s the breakthrough: A 10-second pause reconnects you to the wise unlimited nonconscious part of your mind, which activates healthy brain waves in your prefrontal cortex.
When this happens, rational thinking, emotional regulation, and informed choice kicks in.
In 10 seconds, you shift from reactive to responsive.
Here’s how:
Feel triggered? Pause.
Take one deep breath.
Count to 10.
Ask: “Is this from now—or an old pattern?”
That pause creates cognitive space—the gap between awareness and intention.
In that gap, you can choose differently.
In my 2026 New Years Detox Challenge, we’re practicing this daily.
We’re on Day 16.
