Mike McCallaway shares a quick stress-relief trick: draw an infinity sign and trace it with your eyes. The side-to-side motion interrupts the stress loop and clears your head in seconds, though he admits it sounds like hocus pocus.
Welcome to On a Roll, and now here's your host, Mike McCallaway.
Have you ever had that moment where stress is just owning you? Well, in this episode of On a Roll, we're going to talk about how to break stress instantly. Of course, I want to thank my sponsors first. American Express, love you. Skype, DexDigital, Prevendis Group, Nextiva. Grasshopper, I didn't forget you. I just did that for the dramatic pause. So what happens if you're like filled up with stress? You can't concentrate, you can't focus, you're like, how am I gonna make payroll? How am I gonna pay the bills? Here's a quick way to break out of it. Draw an infinity sign. You know, that's like an 8 on its side. Draw an infinity sign like this, and over time make it bigger and bigger and start following it with your eyes. Now I know this sounds like hocus pocus, But just focus. I am a poet and didn't even know it. Just focus on doing this. And as you focus your eyes on it and you switch from side to side by doing this infinity sign, your eyes flip back and forth and you can't concentrate anymore. So much that Emma's saying this, I don't even know what we're talking about anymore. That's how powerful it is. It breaks the stress. Now this isn't a permanent fix, but if you're really stressing out, start doing this. Do that in front of other people and no one will even get near you. They'll be so freaked out. Because you're bizarre. It's that good. It's the infinity sign stress breaker.
