After I feel as though I&#39;m reasonably calm (sometimes I use 10 breaths as the metric), I visualize what I&#39;d like to achieve and what I need to focus on, and try to carry over the same concerted attention to detail from the breathing exercise, allowing my breathing to slip from my focus as the image of what I&#39;m trying to get done replaces it.<\/p>\n<p>If breathing doesn&#39;t work, or you&#39;d prefer a personal &quot;trick&quot; that works for me, when I close my eyes, I see, in the blackness, a  white circle flashing in and out of existence, impossible to hone in on. I don&#39;t know that everyone does, maybe I just stared at the sun too long as a kid, but I like to try to define the perimeter of that circle, to follow it with my eyes still closed as though I&#39;m Superman drawing a pair of circles with my heat vision. I pair this with breathing to clear my mind before moving forward.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jean P.
