Our breath gets shallow and ineffective when we are in a stressed state. I advocate stopping whatever you're doing for a couple of minutes five times a day, closing your eyes and taking deep breaths.

By taking shallow breaths, you get less oxygen to your brain making you feel tired. Take five minutes to breathe as deeply as you can instead.

He was upset like anyone else would have been. He's like me. He gets real mad. Five minutes later, I went over to talk to him and he was giggling about it. I went over and apologized. There's no need to get somebody mad at you before the race even starts. It was no big deal.

I was at a banquet, and I went into the ladies' room, and I'm in the stall doing my business, and a piece of paper and pen came from outside the door, and she says, 'Ms. Wagner, would you please sign this for me?' And I said, 'Are you kidding me?'

It heats up a week before, then two days before. Then it gets ridiculous during the last couple of minutes. Sometimes the phone rings at the last minute with some crazy ideas, but I don't like operating that way.
