HAD ENOUGH? STRESSED to the max? Offi ce driving you nuts.

Some business problem you’re working on has you totally frustrated.

You can’t seem to get an important project off the ground. Your

brain’s locked up. Nothing’s working. You need solutions now, a new

idea, a brainstorm—but drawing blanks? Running up cul du sacs,

into dead-ends! You’re exhausted, can’t think straight!!

Sound familiar? It happens to everyone in business at some

point. You’re trying hard— probably too hard for too long—and it’s

not working. Happened to me so many times in New York City and

Los Angeles, with Corporate America blue chips, in the investment

banking business of Wall Street. You’re running on empty … your

brain freezes ... locks up ... grinds to a halt!

WHEN YOU CAN’T FIND THE SOLUTION

PLAY HIDE’N’SEEK—LET IT FIND YOU!

This simple meditation technique works like a charm. And it’s one

of the best for anyone in the workaday world. Think of it as an adult

version of hide’n’seek. You’ve probably already tried it without

thinking of it as meditation. It’s worked for me many times, and I’ll

bet for millions of others on Wall Street and throughout Corporate

America. It happens so naturally, you just fl ow with it.

Here’s the simple three-step meditation process in a nutshell,

with a little explanation to help you understand why this kind of

meditation is so effective and powerful in solving business problems

and reducing stress. Follow these three simple steps and you’ll get

the most out of it, and I’ll bet you start doing it on a regular basis

when your brain locks and you’re stressed out:

STEP ONE

STOP WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING! NOW!

Stop right now! Stop everything, turn the computer off—get out of

the offi ce! Right in the middle of the day? Yes! You must interrupt

the obsessive ruminating that dug your brain into a deep rut. And

yes, you will probably feel guilty, like you’re escaping from reality,

or wasting company time, just procrastinating, indecisive, or a loser

because you can’t do the job in front of you. Self-criticism goes with

the territory, it’s natural and expected. Stop anyway. Get out of the

offi ce, leave, go, right now!

STEP TWO

DON’T THINK! DO SOMETHING SPONTANEOUS!

Do something impulsive, unpredictable, unplanned, unusual, weird,

odd, inspiring, nutty, artistic and creative! Anything other than

what you’re doing! Something that sounds like it’s coming from

deep within you—a voice, muse, spirit, artist, child, whatever, even

if you’re not really sure what, listen to it. And when you do it, shift

gears—you should get totally and absolutely and completely into

whatever you’re going to do, and exit the scene of the problem.

STEP THREE

GET OUT OF THE OFFICE! YES, ESCAPE! GO!

It could be as simple as a slow walk through a new exhibit at the

museum. An opening at an offbeat art gallery. Just sit and contemplate

one work of art. Or go sit by a waterfall in a favorite vest pocket park

and read a novel. Or work your way through the great masterpieces

in Sister Wendy’s Book of Meditations, stopping occasionally to

explore what art means in your life.
