A Safety Reset For Work - Pause. Breathe. Decide Clearly

This short breathing exercise is designed for workers who need to slow down, refocus, and make safer decisions on the job.
When stress rises, breathing speeds up — and that’s when mistakes happen. This practice helps you pause before acting, calm your nervous system, and bring your attention back to the task in front of you.
Use this breath:
Before making an important decision
After a stressful interaction
When you feel rushed, overwhelmed, or distracted
Before returning to safety-critical work
Important safety note:
This exercise is done seated or standing still. Do not use while driving, operating machinery, working at heights, or performing any active task. If you feel light-headed at any point, return to normal breathing.
