SECRETS FROM THE EXECUTIVE WORLD Besides the techniques mentioned above, here are some unique tricks that some CEO’s use to help manage their stress (Forbes, 2009): CREATE DRAWINGS. Every morning, draw something on a napkin or paper. This might seem elementary, but a famous CEO (Robert Freedman, ORC Worldwide) does it in the morning to clear his mind before starting the day. START BAKING. Marissa Mayer (CEO, Yahoo), enjoys baking cupcakes to reduce stress (Business Insider, 2014). ENGAGE WITH NATURE. Jack Dorsey (Co-creator, Twitter and Square), enjoys observing botanical illustrations as well as studying leaves and other aspects of nature. REMEMBER TO STAY CENTERED. Try to do at least one little thing every day that you enjoy. Be creative. It is not indulgence, it is empowerment.
