Just breathe
By Charles Martin | November 16, 2009
I’m a runner. Most of you know.
The key to success in running is good breathing practice.
I started boxing class with the folks at @scubagrove’s Cypress Park Boxing Club in LA and again, breathing came up as the main force in my success.
@cooler_guy sent me a post today from Peter Bregman. I forgot how the Harvard Business Review has such great bloggers, but also hadn’t seen Peter’s stuff before. One I like a lot is something I wish we could all master and it’s on breathing before you speak and before you berate.
There are a few colleagues of mine in particular that have a constant fight going on with someone and I bet if they were able to just “breathe”, they’d have fewer of them in play. They’d be spending their time where it’s more valuable. I call this practice “rising” but you can call it what you want. Try it. You’ll be glad you did.
