Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- The instant I notice my heart speed up or my breath go shallow, my brain reads it as proof something is wrong and I spiral
- The moment I notice my own heartbeat I start scanning it for something wrong
- Calming down is so abstract that I can never tell if I’m actually doing it
- I’m breathing along but I have no idea if it’s working
- The instant I feel my heart skip or my chest tighten, I’m sure something is really wrong with me, and the fear of the sensation spins it into something bigger
Practices that may help
- Heartbeat and breath awareness
Practice sensing your heartbeat and breath directly to sharpen interoceptive accuracy.
Interoception, Explained - The heartbeat phrase ("My heartbeat is calm and regular")
Use the heartbeat phrase to shift attention to the heart without anxiety — a slow, passive observation practice.
Autogenic Training, Made Practical - HRV biofeedback with a real-time sensor
Use a pulse sensor and software to see your HRV waveform and learn to consciously raise it.
