I Changed My Nervous System in 60 Seconds
Dec 17, 2025Most people don’t realize their heart shows stress before their mind does.
I filmed a quick demonstration with my HeartMath monitor to prove it. In the first clip, I breathed the way most people do all day and let my mind drift to something that pulled me off center. Within seconds, the data changed. My HRV became jagged. My coherence dropped. My system shifted into a state that burns energy fast and reduces clarity.
Then I recorded a second clip.
All I did was slow my breath and think of one thing I was grateful for. Sixty seconds later, my HRV was smooth and even. My coherence rose. My heart and brain synced again. This is the part most people don’t know: your nervous system is trainable. You can shift your internal state on purpose.
When your heart is coherent, you think clearer. You react less. You recover faster. You lead better. And you feel steadier in your body and your life.
This is why I love HeartMath. It gives you real-time feedback on what your system is doing and how quickly it can change with intention.
