Want to calm your brain on demand? - What I learned as a mom, doctor and Harvard trained educator

Most people think that relaxation is what you do after all the work is done, but that's backwards. And in the next 60 seconds, I'm gonna show you how to turn the relaxation response into an everyday habit so that your brain has a reset button before stress takes over. I learned this from Harvard cardiologist Dr. Herbert Benson. He showed that the body has a built-in physiological response that is opposite of the stress response. I've taught tens of thousands of people from high-performing students and professionals to musicians at the Juilliard School. And here's what I learned. You don't build calm by hoping that you're gonna remember when you're stressed in that moment. You actually build the calm by practicing it every day. That's why I created the Relax to Soar Planner. The R stands for relaxation response. Let's take a quick pause and elicit the relaxation response. Listen and focus on the sound of this chime until the sound goes completely away. Ready? Breathe. That's it. One chime, one deep breath. Once your brain learns how to restore calm, you can use it in those moments that you need it the most. So if you wanna relax to soar, follow me for more science-backed tips.
