Advice from Andre Tan on how to quickly calm yourself down:
- In order to bring your breathing and heartbeat to a calm level, you need to do the “Breathing in a Square” exercise. Take a deep breath (4 sec), hold your breath (4 sec), exhale (4 sec), hold your breath (4 sec). Repeat several times.
- To regain at least some control over the situation, you need to imagine a protective, energy dome above you, protecting, protecting you.
- After the next explosion, exhale deeply, thank you for being alive. Remember how in childhood, when we did something, but our parents “didn’t get it”, “blown away”. We exhale with relief, we feel calm.
- In the morning we do several things that fill us up. Inhale the smells, slow down, enjoy the moment. Pleasant music, hugs, pampering with pets, nature inspires with its beauty.
- Take care of your body. He needs enough water, sleep, fresh air, healthy food and physical activity.
