I imagine that you already know that prolonged stress negatively impacts your capacity to focus, to perform at your highest capacity, to be fully present and engaged at work.

And yet, finding effective ways to shift out of stress—like going on vacation or working out—often require too much time and aren’t helpful in the moment, when you need it most.

That’s why I feel inspired to share this short guided meditation with you. It’s designed specifically to be respectful and honoring of your time, and can be done anytime, anywhere.

In just four minutes, you’ll feel an enhanced sense of well-being. You’ll practice deep, abdominal breathing, which has been scientifically proven to be the most effective way to calm your nervous system and relieve stress.

I hope you enjoy the meditation and remember to use it as often as possible! The more you practice, the more easily you’ll be able to access these better-feeling states.

And when you feel better, you work better.
