Answer 3

Exercise is the best form of stress reduction techniques in my opinion. To some people, some used shopping, smoking and eating. but those seems to be all bad for the wallet as well as health. You can listen to some soothing music of your choice as well.

Answer 4

At work, take a five minute break even if it is just going into the bathroom and locking the door. Take a series of tulip breaths. Visualize yourself as a tulip opening and closing as you take a long slow deep breathe. A hot bath, a short walk, visualize yourself in a favorie place, in the water at the bottom of a waterfall, floating on a mattress in the pool, prayer, going to a quiet dinner, celebrating wih a friend. The list is endless, use your imagination.

Answer 5

Excercise. Anything that keeps the mind and body focused such as aerobics or walking, running can .Swimming is a good overall body excercise that is great for a work out and can be relaxing as it is tiring to use your whole body in that. Such as controlled breathing is good to lower a heart rate and relax the effects of feeling stressed. Breathe in from the nose only and exhale from the mouth rhythmically a few times.
