Being Nice is Free – Part II

June 12th, 2013

Here’s a quick technique for tapping into your “nice.”

I’m not into meditation or the like but I learned this quick exercise a few months ago and it’s served me well.

  1. Breathe in deeply and slowly through your nose.
  2. Exhale slowly through your mouth.
  3. Repeat for a total of three times breathing in and out

I’ve been astonished at how well this works as a super-quick calming practice:

  • In stressful situations
  • Before a presentation or important meeting
  • To regain focus

Give it a try, and let me know what you think.
