Forces identifies six simple actions to follow.

You must first de-stress your entire face. Close your eyes. Take a deep, deliberate breath. Then, progressively relax each muscle in your face.

Then, let go of your hands and shoulders. Working from your shoulders down, release any tightness in your biceps, forearms, and hands.

Third, exhale and open your chest while keeping your arms and shoulders in a comfortable position.

Following that, unwind your legs as you would your arms. Your thigh should come first, followed by your calf, ankle, and foot.

The next stage is to try to thoroughly clear your mind. Imagine a serene mental image.

If you notice your mind straying, try repeating the phrase “don’t think” for ten seconds at a time.
