  • Free-writing in the morning: A simple stress relief technique.

    First thing in the morning, before things start happening, I will spend about 20 minutes free-writing in my journal to get whatever is on my mind onto paper. This really helps me clear my mind before the day starts. And I have found that this helps to reduce stress and anxiety. This is the real magic for me and why I like journaling.

  • Effective deep breathing techniques for stress relief.

    In an effort to take better care of myself, I have started to practice deep breathing techniques that help me to reduce stress and anxiety.

    Breathe in slowly to a count of four, hold for a count of four, and then breathe out to a count of eight.

    I do this a few times every morning, and anytime I feel the stress sneaking in. And it works.

    I sleep better at night. I feel less stressed at work.

    And things that used to bother me bother me less now. Try it out. It might work for you, too.
