How I Handle It
•Take Action
-Your body is primed to act, so go ahead and get physically moving.
-“Contract your muscles, release and shake it out. You can march in place or wring a towel – 30 to 60 seconds will reboot your body and return you to physical stability,”
•Breathe
-Hit the pause button and tune into yourself. Consider using guided imagery and mindfulness to engage in the moment. Being present will realign the body.
-“Think: ‘I am here; it is what it is.’ It’s about acceptance, not control,”
•Feel Good
-Take at least 30 seconds to just feel good. It’ll release the same endorphins you get when you exercise.
-“Think about what you’re grateful for,”.“Tap or sing along to a song. I tell my clients to keep Play-Doh at their desks and take a minute to play.”
