When you train your nervous system to stay calm under fire, you become dangerous because nothing can shake you.
Here’s your calm-builder protocol:
Catch it: When panic hits, pause. Don’t move. Name the feeling.
Move it: Get sunlight, walk, stretch, or breathe until your heart rate drops.
Reset it: Ask, “What actually matters right now?” Kill everything else.
