1-Minuten-Habit für 2. Juli
Exhale through a straw slowly
Warum dieses Habit hilft
This mimics the 'physiological sigh'—a natural breathing pattern that resets stress responses by activating the vagus nerve.
The slight resistance of the straw prolongs your exhale, triggering instant calm.

I started keeping a straw in my work bag after learning this trick. Before client meetings, I duck into the bathroom stall and do 3 straw exhales. My heart no longer races—it’s like magic!
