Transcript:
I'm Bruce Patterson. I live in New York City, a place that's known for its energy. In fact, there's so much energy here it can be overwhelming at times.

Having lots of energy is great, especially if you can harness it for your own good. But it's not so great if you're wasting it, or letting it overwhelm you.

So the next time you're feeling overwhelmed, I want you to try the simple energy correction. It's fast, and it could get you over the Whelm.

First, notice how you're feeling right now. Then place one hand across your forehead like this and let the other palm cradle the back of your head. Of course, this is easier if you're lying down and It's perfectly fine to switch hands if your arms get tired. 

We call this position the frontal occipital hold, and it has a way of calming the brain and allowing clearer thinking to return to it.

Hold your hands like this for 2-3 minutes breathing slower and deeper than usual~ so breathing in to a slow count of four. And out to a slow count of four. This incorporates the healing breathing that we've talked about earlier.

Notice how you're feeling now.  You may be feeling better already.
If not, hold the pose and do the breathing for another 2-3 minutes.

Taking back your energy and focusing it for your own benefit helps keep overwhelm under control. Try it, and see if it works for you.

I'm Bruce Patterson. Here's to taking back your own energy so that it's working for you again.
