You can modify it depending on the time you have. The full version is to lay down on the floor, close your eyes and begin to take deep breaths (grab a neck pillow if you need the support). Each breath should be about 3-5 seconds inhale, 3-5 seconds exhale. The more you do it, you can extend the breath to 10 seconds.  For the first few breaths, attempt to relax your entire body. Find where tension is lingering and try to release it. Is your neck tight? Are you holding your jaw? Is your calf extended? What are your fingers doing? Check in with your whole body. Once you feel relaxed and you’ve been breathing for a bit, you can start the exercise. The exercise involves isolating certain parts of your body and tensing them for a short duration and then releasing that isolation. It follows this pattern. Deep breath in. Hold for as long as you can. Tense the isolated area for as long as you hold.  Release the breath and tension simultaneously. Do not explode the exhale, simply release.  As you are tensing, check into your body. Disengage any unnecessary tension.  For the full exercise, isolate in the following order:  Face Shoulders, neck and chest Hands Core Legs and feet.  Whole body For a modified tension and release exercise, you can sit in a chair, relaxed hands either on the armrests or resting on the thighs. While seated, do your best to have a relaxed, neutral posture. You can either go right to tensing the whole body or do any combination of isolation required. This is often best for times you are in public, don’t have space, need something fast, etc.     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault. The vault is packed full of free gifts from sales leaders, sales experts, marketing gurus and revenue generation experts.  Download your free gift, 81 Tools to Grow Your Sales & Your Business Faster, More Easily & More Profitably.
