So, close your eyes and do deep breathing the number that you get to your minute.

Nobody can tell you something for doing that for 60 seconds. So, if you don’t want to do it in front of everyone. Go in the bathroom, where you can isolate yourself. Or if you alright, do it at your desk or outside. You simply need to allow yourself to breathe and release the tension in your body.

After that you will feel better, without meditating. You just took one real minute for yourself.
