Great post. So simple, but I’d never have thought to do this if it wasn’t for this post. Relaxing is probably the last thing I think of because I’m so busy during the day, but I’m going to try and take a deep breathe inbetween tasks to help me relax.

I really liked this article, Leo… and I suspect that one of the cool things about it is that due to the joys of associative conditioning, once you’ve been doing it semi-regularly for a few days, you’ll find yourself breathing deeply each time you do your trigger action without having to think about the breath first. Kind of like setting up an NLP anchor, but anchoring to an action, instead of just a gesture.

*grins* – I think I’m going to have to try it now just to see if it does work the way I’m thinking it will :-)

Your Friendly Neighborhood Computer Guy, your comment cracked me up!

I’m a computer Help Desk worker, so I’ll breathe every time I’m waiting for a remote computer to let me in, as well as before I read any new email.

Thanks very much for this tip!

I’ve got 6 seconds! *inhale….exhale*

When I read this post I could help but think about the hip hop song from back in the day by Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh. The main lyrics were….

6 minutes, 6 minutes, 6 minutes Doug E. Fresh you’re on.
Ah ah on, ah ah on, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah on(2x)

let’s change that to…

6 seconds, 6 seconds, 6 seconds to Relax you’re on!
Ah ah on, ah ah on, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah on(2x)
