Finding lions.

Take a deep breath and slowly scan your surroundings from left to right.

Did you see a lion? If not, slowly exhale.

Now, close your eyes and do the same thing again. Keeping your eyes closed, scan your mental surroundings from left to right.

Lion? No? Exhale.

A zebra's stress response is designed to help it escape lions ready to attack it. It's not much useful in answering emails.

When in doubt, scan and look for the lions. When you look for them, they start to vanish.
