401. Master The Art Of Napping

Feeling sleepy but not sure how long to nap? Here’s the secret:

• 10-20 Minutes: This quick nap will give you a boost of alertness and energy. Perfect for a mid-day pick-me-up!

• 60 Minutes: Improve your ability to remember facts, faces, and names. Great for prepping for exams or important meetings.

• 90 Minutes: Enhance your emotional and procedural memory and spark creativity. Ideal for those needing a deep refresh or creative boost.

Pro Tip: Avoid napping for 30 minutes. During this time, your body enters the deep stages of sleep and waking up from it can leave you feeling extremely groggy and disoriented, which is known as sleep inertia.

403. Fight Anxiety With Posture

Next time you feel a panic or anxiety attack coming on, try this posture hack to help you stay grounded and in reality:

• Straighten Up: When you start to feel anxious, your body naturally wants to curl up into a fetal position. Counteract this by pinning your shoulders back and standing or sitting up straight. This posture change sends signals to your brain that you are in control and safe.

• Perfect Posture: Keep your arms down, shoulders up, and neck high. This powerful stance can help you feel more in control of your body and mind. It forces your body to open up, making it easier to breathe deeply and evenly.

• Stay Grounded: Maintaining good posture helps you feel more "in reality." When you’re upright, it’s harder for your mind to spiral into panic because your body is sending signals that you are confident and in control.

• Practice Makes Perfect: Like any technique, the more you practice maintaining good posture, the more natural it will become. Try to incorporate this posture into your daily routine so that it becomes second nature, making it easier to use when anxiety strikes.
