In order to be at your most effective, you need to be in a state of calm. When you feel stressed, it’s easy to lose focus, to feel overwhelmed by your feelings and for your thought processes to get muddled. Experiment and find which exercise works best for you to self-soothe and bring yourself back to a more rational state of mind.
