20 seconds. what our anxiety expert says it kind of presses alt, control, delete for your brain. yes, gets you thinking about helping other people which is what is called for at this time. that's impossible if i tell you right now don't picture an elephant, you're going to start picturing an elephant. it's really frustrating. is there a way to turn this into a meditation exercise? yes. next time you feel the powerful urge to touch your face, something that's right under your nose, you can just let the feeling come and go. let the feeling come and go. that is another way of switching out of thinking into feeling. so, those are your two tips. by the way, if you want to know more, check out the special edition of ten percent happier podcast dealing with anxiety at this time. an expert in anxiety and meditation teacher. now over to rob, the least anxious man i know. >> i don't know about that but i've got a new customer for you, dan.
