When overwhelmed, engaging the body through techniques like the physiological sigh can provide rapid relief, as controlling the mind alone often proves ineffective. This highlights the importance of a holistic approach, where calming the body can lead to a more manageable mental state.In this clip

How do we reconcile Andrew Huberman's idea of maintaining mental calmness while physically stressed to raise the stress threshold with the physiological sigh, which implies calming our body to achieve mental calmness?
Is this correct: The physiological sigh is a natural breathing pattern that occurs in humans and animals to regulate stress and enhance calmness. It involves taking a deep inhale, followed by a brief second inhale (through the nose), and then a long exhale (preferably through the mouth). This double inhale inflates the alveoli, ensuring they remain open and can rebalance the ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body.
