A red light isn't lost time, it's a small training opportunity. In those seconds you can check how much tension you're carrying around – and consciously let it go.
The traffic light check in three steps
- Jaw and shoulders: Is your jaw relaxed? Are your shoulders down? Tension often sits right there.
- Three breaths: Breathe in slowly and out even more slowly. That tells your nervous system: all is well.
- Pull away centred: When the light turns green, you don't rush off – you leave calmly and clearly.
Small routines like this are at the heart of my coaching. Find out more about the Focus Sessions.
