DAVID DEIDA

• Place a hand on your heart and feel its rhythm.
• Breathe in deep for 4 seconds, then take a long, slow breath out.
• Repeat this pattern until you can feel your heartbeat slow down. Your thoughts should soon ease up as well.

Take a minute or two to sit in a comfortable position and breathe deeply into your stomach.

Let your body calm down before you approach your work. You’ll find it really helps you concentrate.

To make your own, follow the steps below:

1. Draw a bubble in the center of your paper and write “My Worries” inside.
2. Draw surrounding bubbles and fill them with your worries and concerns.
3. Get a new page and put one of the surrounding worries into the center bubble.
