Do you regularly find yourself running from meeting to meeting? Do you feel like you lurch from task to task, request to request, as you toil through yet another manic day?
This simple technique can be used anywhere, anytime to re-boot, reset and refocus.
It takes just a few seconds. Literally.
INHALE – straighten your spine (whether sitting or standing)
EXHALE – drop your chin to your chest
INHALE – lift your chin AND the corners of your mouth (yes, smile!)
EXHALE – pause and observe the shift in your energy.
– Amy Weintraub devised this practice. Thank you Amy –
Research shows that smiling or laughing increases dopamine, seratonin and other feel good chemicals in the brain. It doesn’t matter whether the smile is real or contrived. Either way it will shift your mood and help you re-set ready to handle the next meeting, request or task on your to-do list with renewed energy, focus and positivity.
