Deep breathing can help
As you probably know, this practice is one of the quickest ways to relax your mind and body when you feel anxious or stressed. “Inhale to the count of three, and let your belly expand to get a deep breath,” says Erin Hinek, LPC, CPCS, a licensed professional counselor in Decatur, Georgia. “Hold for a count of three, and then exhale slowly for a count of six.”
Write down your positive thoughts
You can relax if you write down your thoughts and feelings when you feel stressed. Also, you should focus more on the positive things that actually happen in your life. “Making a to-do list of everything that’s rolling around in your mind can help you ‘brain dump’ all of the things that you may be ruminating about,” says Hinek.
