I was talking to my students recently about tricks for calming down before giving a presentation, and one of my best tips is to take three deep breaths before starting a speech. I'm talkin' about all the way down to your stomach deep breaths.
I was reminded that it's a great tip for calming down in any situation, not just speeches. Few things can't be fixed or dealt with after taking three deep breaths.
Three deep breaths calm you.They force you to step back from the situation you're dealing with.They allow you to reset.
They may even prevent you from yelling, "Stop yelling!" at your own children or losing your cool when trying to reason with a Trump supporter. Maybe.
