2. Observe people around you
A great exercise to do is to observe people around you. This doesn’t mean that you stare at them. Keep glancing at their actions, expressions and voices. Surely you would be able to find something new, interesting and amusing from such observations.
3. Close your eyes
If you are in a public place or on a transport vehicle, ensure that you are not wearing any expensive
jewelry5 and clutch your purse before doing this exercise. Close your eyes,
massage6 your temples and eyes and rotate your neck. This is an excellent
relaxation7 technique to calm your nerves.
4. Chew gum
Purchase a pack of gum or keep one handy in your purse at all times so that you can chew on a gum while waiting for your not so punctual colleague or friend. This will be like an exercise for your
jaw8 and facial muscles that will help in toning the fat on the face.
5. Keep a small book or Rubik cube handy
You could always store away a small book or Rubik cube in your purse if your profession demands many instances of waiting around.

7. Try to compose a poem

frustration13 over waiting and use mockery of the late-comer as an inspiration for your poem or even the surroundings. Make rhyming lines and make yourself laugh over how silly you may be sounding.
