Before you hit send: one slow breath before you reply
Before the small shift
The moment
A stressful email or message lands, and the reply goes out before you've had a moment to think.
A way in
Try this
- Pause your fingers over the keyboard.
- Take one long, slow breath in through your nose.
- Let it go, then start typing.
If you try it
What might shift
One breath puts a small gap between reacting and responding.
The work-message cousin of the physiological sigh: one breath, tied to the moment before you reply. Breathe comfortably; there’s nothing to get right.
