If you want to manage stress more effectively…
1. Breathe deeply for at least two minutes. Focus on your breaths.
2. Stretch different body parts for ten minutes.
3. Listen to something calming and distracting (i.e. music) unrelated to whatever is stressing you out.
4. Cuddle (with a lover, friend or even a pet – physical touch is comforting.)
5. Detach from the source of stress (excuse yourself from a meeting, take a break from a project, remove yourself from an argument) for a five-minute break.
6. Sniff lavender or geranium essential oil (both lower blood pressure.)
7. Sit in the sun (outside) for five minutes.
8. Paint a picture.
9. Talk to a friend for ten minutes, even if just to hear about his or her life.
10. Spend ten minutes grooming (nails, bath, hair.)
11. Take a nap.
12. Chew a piece of gum.
