The military doesn't teach soldiers to be fearless. They teach them to function while afraid.

One technique that works anywhere: Box breathing. 4 seconds in, 4 hold, 4 out, 4 hold.

Navy SEALs use it before breaches. You can use it before a hard conversation or an emergency at 2 AM.

Every choice you make under stress drains your ability to make the next one. That's why routines and checklists matter. They remove decisions when your brain is least equipped to make them.
