Before sending out your survey, let’s do a quick relaxation technique. It can be intimidating to send your ideas out into the world, and we want you to be brave and take some risks!
Put your hands on your belly, and inhale slowly and deeply for four seconds.You should feel your stomach moving out as you suck in the air. If your breath is still in your chest, it’s too shallow.
Hold the breath for seven seconds, then slowly release it over eight seconds.
Repeat 5 times, or until you’re ready to continue.
Send your survey to five people you know. See what they say! Then, think about how you can improve your survey based on their feedback.
Are people responding with relevant answers?
Do you need to change the wording on any question?
