To help us cope with anxiety, Ricardo discusses a technique he learned from Nick Trenton's book "Stop Overthinking": the 5,4,3,2,1 method.
Every day brings new challenges, and it's easy to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of panic and worry about the potential dangers to our work and projects.
The method is based on counting down from five to one; at each stage, we focus on a different sense in order to locate ourselves in the here and now.
And the first sense explored is vision; you observe five things in your environment, then you do the same exercises in the countdown with the senses: hearing, touch, smell, and taste.
While going through this, you bring your mind into a position of self-control.
