When you find yourself in a challenging situation, whether it's dealing with an unhappy client on the phone or feeling overwhelmed by a bad tee shot, this exercise will help you stay grounded and positive.
You can do this exercise either seated or standing:
1. Think of someone, something or someplace you love.
2. Experience the joy that accompanies thinking about that person, thing or place.
3. Close your eyes. (Yes, you can do this at your desk! It only takes a few seconds).
4. With your mouth closed, take a deep breath in through your nose. As you inhale, feel the breath extending down all the way to the base of your spine.
5. Picture the person, thing or place. Keeping your mouth closed, release the breath slowly through your nose.
6. Repeat this exercise three times.
This breathing exercise will help you think and see more clearly, while increasing the positive feelings to help move you through your day with ease. You can even make this a habit. Practice it whenever you feel stressed or overwhelmed.
