What Do You Do When You Get Stressed?

As much as we try to avoid big stress in our lives, it happens.

So how do you deal with it?

Do you go for a walk? A run?
Do you eat sweets? (my favorite) 
Do you get out in nature?
Do you have a drink? Or two? Or three? 

There are many ways to cope with stress.

Some positive. Some maybe not so much.

(Acupuncture helps with stress, btw) 

I have shared this with you before. Given the levels of stress that I am seeing in patients recently, I think it is worth sharing again. 

This is a tool to put in your repertoire for quickly reducing your stress level.  

A Breathing Technique To Instantly Reduce Stress

This technique is called Exhale Breath.

You can do this any time to quickly bring stress levels down.

This is also a good one to do right before bed as it can help you fall asleep.
 

When you start to yawn, you know you are done.
