A unique ritual has been adopted by Myosin Marketing in Austin, Texas, where CEO Sean Clayton initiates each staff meeting with a deep-breathing exercise on Zoom. This practice aims to create a safe and grounded environment for the remote employees, fostering creativity and reducing stress.
Studies have shown that deep breathing can effectively alleviate workplace stress. Many individuals, especially desk workers, tend to take shallow breaths, which can contribute to increased stress levels. Chronic stress, if left unmanaged, can have severe health implications, comparable to secondhand smoke exposure.
