Here’s what is happening inside your body: you are teaching your heart to feel stress . . . and let it go. If you were connected to my biofeedback equipment as you did this, you would see your heart rate accelerating on the inhale and decelerating by approximately the same magnitude on the exhale. Your body comes right back to where it began with every breath. That’s the physiological effect of feeling and letting go. Contrast that with what it would look like if you were a chronically stressed client hooked up to my equipment, breathing normally, with no pacing or purposeful re-creation of stress. The heart rate may accelerate on the inhale, but it would decelerate just a fraction of what it should on the exhale. In some situations, you may get stuck at the top of the inhale, plateauing instead of decelerating. That is an incomplete exhale, which prevents the braking of fight-or-flight response—the opposite of resilience.

Facebook’s own security department has shockingly acknowledged that over 600,000 accounts are compromised every day. Did you get that? Not 600,000 accounts per year or even per month, but per day.

The choice of how you allocate your time to finding new things or taking advantage of things you’ve already discovered is part of the classic explore-exploit problem.[*] How much time should you spend exploring the landscape for new opportunities and how much of your time should you spend exploiting things that are already positive expected value? Exploitation in this sense doesn’t mean manipulating or doing something underhanded. It just means that you’re taking advantage of an opportunity that you already have. For a company that has an established product, resources devoted to continuing to market, produce, and sell that product are spent on exploiting something they have already discovered, like Blockbuster exploiting its profitable business model of renting and selling videos in physical stores. On the other hand, resources spent on research and development of new products or strategies are being devoted to exploration, the discovery of new products or business models the company might pursue. Because companies have limited resources, you can immediately see the importance of figuring out the explore-exploit balance. If they don’t get it right, exploring too little, they stop innovating, sticking with what used to work until they are out of business. Of course, the same is true in our personal lives, with how we allocate our resources of time, money, effort, and attention between exploring new opportunities and sticking with the ones we already have.
