5 Tips for Stress Management

• Stress is ubiquitous. The release of stress
  hormones (like adrenaline and cortisol) helps you
  cope with immediate challenges.But when your
  level of stress becomes chronic or goes beyond
  what your body can handle, it can compromise your
  physical, emotional, and mental well-being which
  makes it harder to handle future stress.
• Following stress management techniques can help
  your body train on how you react to friendly and
  not-so-friendly stressors.
• Tension tamers can turn off the alarm response
  and turn on the relaxation response which helps
  you return to normal functioning following a
  stressful event

• 1. Breathe from Your Belly
• Sit in a comfortable position and take a few
  deep breaths by expanding your belly (rather than
  lifting your shoulders).
• Releasing physical tension and increasing oxygen
  intake calm you quicklyeven if stressful events
  continue.
• 2. Spring into Action
• Change your scenery and change your perspective
  indoors or outdoors.
• Walking gets your blood circulating and helps you
  blow off steam so you can return to a new frame
  of mind.
• Even a short burst of exercise (like running up
  several flights of stairs, or several sets of
  push-ups or abdominal crunches) can reduce
  stress.
• Exercise helps deliver more oxygen to your brain
  and distracts you from stress to give you a fresh
  perspective on things. Even simple stretching can
  help bring a little relief

• 3. Take a BreakWhether you listen to music or
  dance or enjoy a hearty laugh, it is calming for
  your nerves.
• Softer music alone or combined with yoga, guided
  imagery, or soaking in the tub can help relax
  tense muscles.
• Upbeat music can help lift your mood or keep you
  energized.Dancing to your favorite tune or
  singing along can transport you to a stress-free
  zone.
• Move your gaze away from the workstation to
  visualize yourself in your favorite space, doing
  your favorite things, or being with your favorite
  people.
• Maintaining a sense of humor reminds us that our
  stressors may not be as menacing as they seem.
• Purchase or download a laugh track, cartoons,
  jokes, or your favorite comedy TV show or movies
  to enjoy when youre feeling overwhelmed. It
  renews the spirit and breaks the stress response
  quickly.

  thoughts and feelings for increased
  self-knowledge.
• Putting the experience on paper gets it off your
  mind and helps you refocusand teaches you how to
  cope the next time it happens.
