The minute they wake up, they go back into heightened stress, which means if you have a company and you have 100 employees, 75 of your employees are in heightened chronic stress all day while they're at work. Why is this important? When you go into heightened stress, your brain loses the ability to have and process a logical thought, a rational thought.

You lose the ability to have inspiration and intuition, and you lose your ability to be creative. So now what if you're sitting at work in an ad agency and you've got to come up with a really great idea and you're heightened stress, you're freaking out about your bank account, your marriage, your life, your health, your sales quota, whatever's going on.

And now your boss says, I need you to figure this out and you've got an hour to do it. It's never going to happen. And we need to understand how does the brain work and how do you get yourself back? And I'm going to tell you, it is easier than anyone thinks. The exercises and the processes are so simple, but they take education.

We need to know why are we doing something so that we will do it because people need to know what's in it for them. Otherwise, they're never going to do it. But if you could slow yourself down for a minute in that situation, take a few deep breaths in, create coherence of the brain. Because the left and the right brain, both compartmentalize, they shut down in stress.

And that's why you can't fire logic and ration and reason. So you need to get them to reestablish that connection, which recreates the coherence, which creates the symbiotic relationship between the brain and the body. When you've got that, all of a sudden, inspiration flows, creativity flows, your stress levels go down. And now you're like, boom, I've got the idea. I know exactly what to do.

And the idea lands. And that is a simple practice of being able to breathe in and breathe out, create separation between where you are and what you're experiencing, labeling and identifying what are the things that are coming up. These are really simple techniques that I teach, but you have to be aware that they are there and that they happen.

I want to give one, just one exercise to your audience that they can take away and apply into their life as early as today.

If you find yourself in heightened chronic stress, your tongue gets thick, your mouth gets dry, you're really struggling to think, if you have heightened emotion and you're stressed about something, stop, push yourself away from your desk, pick up a pen or a pencil, take your cell phone, anything, and just hold it a couple of feet from your face and stare at the pen.
