Well, try walking late into a meeting after the elevator is broken and the five flights of stairs have shown you how out of shape you are and then have a calm mind. We don’t choose our panic attack scenarios. I’ve gotten pretty deep into meditation and even with 45+ minutes a day of meditation, it always starts with my brain controlling my breathing for several minutes until I can get into a space to let go. It’s where my anxiety lives and while I’m aware of it, retraining it is likely going to take some years.
Your advice isn’t wrong at all. But it sounded a little dismissive and simple to reality. Had some “have you tried not being depressed?” vibes.

That wasn’t my intention. English isn’t my native tongue that’s why I miss most subtleties. 🙏
What works for me is to stay still for a minute and only focus on the inside. That meeting can wait that extra minute, your well-being is more important.

If English is your second language, you are fantastic at it.
Unfortunately, work culture in the US disagrees. But you’re absolutely correct.
