Pump the brakes on your week and take 10 minutes to make your life as a surgeon just a little better…
This week on the mini-podcast we are welcoming back Stephanie Mathless, where she builds on the fundamental breathing techniques from Episode 10 that aimed to calm, relax and destress. On this new episode she introduces two new techniques that focus on boosting energy levels and bringing more clarity to your today.
Technique 1 – Bellows Breath for a quick energy boost instead of coffee
Technique 2 – Imaginative Breathing for an instant calming effect to improve clarity
How do you apply both breathing techniques in your everyday life? Try doing the following:
- Instead of going for your third cup of coffee, try the quick breathing (bellow breath technique).
- When you have a bit more time, then try the imaginative breathing technique.
Using breathing techniques is a perfect example of how surgeons can improve their effectiveness inside and outside of the OR.
Most importantly, find 2 or 3 moments this week to PRACTICE a breathing technique and notice the benefits…
