Ex-Navy Seal Reveals The 3 Tools He Uses to Cope with Extreme Stress and Anxiety

#sealteam #stressmanagement #inspiration
Chadd Wright is a retired U.S. Navy Seal. In his video on his youtube channel, he talks about the 3 tools he used to cope with the extreme stress of going through BUD/S. He still uses these techniques today. I found his video extremely helpful and insightful and wanted to share it with you. I practice all three techniques he mentioned and I do find them extremely helpful for managing my stress levels during highly-stressful periods. We all handle stress differently, and it's amazing to know that the US Navy Seals are using simple techniques that we can all learn and practice.
If you would like to check out the full video or his channel '3 of 7 Project' the full link to the video can be found here: • Top 3 Tools I Learned ...

I teach 4x4 breathing to people all the time as a mental health counselor. It works. A lot of people don't commit to mastering it, but the ones who do reap the benefits for the rest of their lives.

[@a.g.4843]

I have a stress related mental illness and tried dozens of breathing techniques to relax. The 4x4 is imho not the most efficient. It’s better to longer exhale than to inhale. So eg 7 secs inhale, 2 seconds hold, 8 secs exhale. Aside from that, mediation is even more efficient than breathing techniques. Far more efficient, actually. Since you leave reality and just shut off your mind, this is very relaxing (if you do it right)

That’s the Big Four from Mark Divine:
1. Breath control
2. Mins control (positive self talk).
3. Visualize success.
4. Micro goals.

What happens if I have a micro-penis?

[@jennal1260]

Thank you for your service!!

[@bryanlittle4647]

Number 1 is number 1 for a reason. It’s the pinnacle. We all know leaders who have a bit too much self confidence.

[@andyg6967]

The 4X4 or otherwise known as box breathing works really well.

[@brandyhouston2105]

Now, this is one of your best videos.Thanks for making it available for the general public excellent!😎

[@Vercingetorix.Fantasia]

Interesting. Psych proffesionals taught me 4 1 4 breathing for the same shit.

[@miamistormz]

This guy has a great RUclips channel I’d definitely look him up… 3 of 7 project is his channel. Great man and a man of god.

[@Chazb369]

This will help me a lot thank you

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

I hope you make it and succeed.

Simple and to the Point, just like everything else we learn in the military. ITs weird, but I dont remember learning this in SERE school but there was similar information like the acronym SURVIVAL. This information in really helpful. Thank you. There is so much good information we learn in the Marines like, proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance, slow is fast, two is one and one is none, and even SMEAC. Not only is this useful but we learn the learning process of listen to the class, do practical application and then use. Its so simple and it works. We should be teaching our kids this stuff. Every parent should have a Kit of books and knowledge to teach their kids how to deal with life and be a more productive person.

4 Square breathing works!

[@dan27music]

Good tips. Thank you.

[@teanistillmon3341]

Thank you for your service. Good tips. I will USE them..

[@RadicNomadic]

Although hiking/biking and finding yourself "alone" in the woods etc. I really had to control yelling at my gear when it was misbehaving cuz you know what? 1 outta 10 times I wasn't really alone. Then they just think your nuts!

[@shadowling77777]

Lmao

[@rathey7999]

Knowledge is power.

[@alexislopez9355]

Thanks for this advice. I'm sharing your video.

[@BrandonSmith-qx8jx]

That’s exactly what my McDonald’s training consisted of

“Unbeatable Mind” by Mark Divine. Can we start giving the legend the credit he deserves?

[@dklein130]

Thank you !

[@michaelsly267]

Positive self talk means not repeating "I'm just gonna kill myself" in your head

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

I learned the value and effectiveness of visualization and a meditation/breathing technique similar to the 4×4 early on in my motorcycle racing career.
It absolutely works and is an invaluable tool for any high stress, high performance dependent endeavors.

[@blackwolf3414]

Amen 🙏 Brother

[@letsbuilda4ort]

Fantastic stuff and thanks for sharing.
How do you control that conversation in your head if I may ask?

[@MrPalaad]

In BUDS 189 we called it box breathing at a count of 5.

[@danielstevenson1250]

I visualize my fingernails cut.

[@8sp3ct]

How do I survive phase 2 water comp? As in when they take your scuba gear off. How do I train for that?

[@songdongian87]

Visualization likes a daydreamer 😂

[@sammusic681]

BONUS: GOAL SETTING

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Set them small and set them often.

[@travisweldmaster7815]

Amen brother

[@AventusEntertainment]

True Hero!!!!!!!

[@Bludgeta9001]

Breathing technique? That's either a Jojo or Demon Slayer reference

[@jameyjohnson2068]

Amen meditation is powerful

[@a.g.4843]

Yes meditation is the best thing one can do for mental health and relaxation

[@fotini777]

Prayer would help too

[@a.g.4843]

There are better breathing techniques than that. In general u should always breathe out longer than you breathe in (to relax). Trust me, due to a certain mental illness i practiced various breathing techniques for months and all day.

[@Brie7362]

You spelled taught wrong.

[@miamistormz]

Nobody cares unless you’re stupid and can’t comprehend simple errors that everyone of us makes.

[@rafibros]

Isn’t this guy an ultramarrothon runner

[@jamiewashere]

what the heck is bud/s?

[@Ner-vod]

Ah yes, the quiet professionals😂
