Quick Fixes to Physical Effects of Stress

4 Things In 5 Minutes! Four quick tips for relaxing on the spot.

1. Breathe deeply - take several deep breaths to slow down your heart rate and reduce your anxiety.
2. Relax your muscles - stretch your neck, stand or sit up straight, get some of the tension out of your body.
3. Make a change - step back from what you're doing and/or what's stressing you; a few seconds can bring a lot of perspective.
4. Laugh - nothing relieves the tension in your body, or your mind, like a little humor.

Next: Breathe!
