Welcome back. Today we're giving your body a tool it can actually use in the moment. Nerves live in the body, so we calm the body first.

You'll breathe in for four, hold for four, and exhale for four— four rounds. Notice how you feel different after.

This is a technique you can use right before any talk.

Sit up tall, soften your shoulders, and when you're ready, let's begin.
