1. DEEP BREATHING

“Eblin recommends using the STOP acronym to remember the process. Stop what you’re doing. Take a breath. Observe what’s going on around you. Proceed.”

2. LEARNING LESSONS ANALYSIS

“Eblin suggests asking yourself these three questions:

1. What was supposed to happen?
2. What actually happened?
3. What would I do differently next time?”

3. VISUALIZING THE FUTURE

“”After taking a few deep breaths to clear their mind, athletes envision the answer to two big questions:

1. What am I trying to do?
2. How do I need to show up to do that?””

4. CREATING TIME FOR UNCONSCIOUS THOUGHT

“When you get away from work, you clear mental clutter and initiate unconscious thought. Deferring an important decision until you’ve had a chance to let simmer not only brings better results; it lessens your sense of being overworked.”

5. ASKING IF THIS IS NECESSARY

“”Ask yourself, ‘What’s the most important thing to get done today?’” he says “What could be postponed? What could be done by someone else?”
