When you’re tense, your body is full of unnecessary tightness.

The idea of this video is to release that excess tension first, then guide your body into a relaxed state.

It works whether you’re standing, sitting, or lying down.

How Not to Get Nervous [Psychiatrist Shion Kabasawa]

This is an introduction by business psychology lecturer Toshio Sakai on how people who are not good at speaking in public can overcome it.

Try incorporating a daily training method from psychology called “reframing.” Things can be viewed from multiple angles.

For example, you can interpret being passive as being modest, refined, or reserved; or view a quick temper as being passionate or expressive.

Listen to ambient music

Nature boosts your focus! Ambient BGM for reading, studying, and working

Everyone, are you familiar with the musician Brian Eno? The British artist, active since 1970, is a pioneer of ambient music, and if I had to sum up his sound in a single word, it would be “silence.” My recommended album is his 1978 release, “Ambient 1: Music for Airports.” I find that listening to Brian Eno before getting into bed helps me sleep better, so I encourage you to give it a listen.

1-Minute Breathing Technique to Calm the Mind

1-minute breathing method that instantly calms your mind☆

When you want to calm down, deep breathing is the go-to.

But rather than mindlessly repeating inhale and exhale, the idea of this video is to do them more efficiently by keeping a steady pace.

The method is close to meditation: sit cross-legged with your back straight.

From that posture, inhale for 5 seconds, hold your breath for 2 seconds, then exhale for 5 seconds.

Repeat this cycle.

It’s simple, but by making it a habit, you’ll be better able to handle any situation.
