Lesson 2 of 6 · What happens in those few seconds
The one sentence
Still only noticing. You are collecting information about your own timing.
The move
Buying the four seconds
5 minutes or less
- When you notice the sign, put your feet flat on the floor and let your hands hang open.
- Breathe out longer than you breathe in. Three times.
- Say nothing at all until the third breath is finished.
- That is it. You are not calming down, you are buying the seconds in which calming down becomes possible.
If it does not work
If you cannot get to the third breath before you speak, that is normal at the start. Getting to one is worth having and it grows.

Put it in your calendar
