Recently Huffington Post blogger Linda Stone wrote about what she calls "email apnea" (click on the link for the post) defined as holding one's breath while reading and responding to email.
She writes:
As the email spills onto my screen, as my mind races with thoughts of what I'll answer first, what can wait, who I should call, what should have been done two days ago; I've stopped the steady breathing I was doing only moments earlier in a morning meditation and now, I'm holding my breath.
And here's the deal. You're probably holding your breath, too.
Are you?
