Pre-Meeting Reset

Focus · Beginner · 5 rounds

Ninety seconds of composure before you present or speak.

The minutes before a presentation or difficult conversation are when arousal spikes and voices tighten. A short hold and a long, slow exhale bring heart rate and voice back under control - discreet enough to do at your desk or outside the meeting room.

How to practice

  1. Inhale for 4 seconds (through the nose)
  2. Hold for 2 seconds
  3. Exhale (Slow) for 6 seconds (through the mouth)
