Relaxing in the job
* Count to Ten
If a situation gets really bad, count to ten slowly to give yourself time to think about the best way to react.
* Talk To Yourself
As you slowly breathe in, say to yourself, "I am." As you breathe out, say slowly to yourself "calm." Repeat this until your mind is calm and you can focus on your breathing.
* Write It Out
Writing can be good therapy. If you're overloaded with worries, take a pencil and paper and spend 20 minutes writing down your concerns and possible solutions to the problems.
* Take A Break
Get a change of scenery by doing something simple. A walk outdoors can give you a new outlook on a situation.
* Take A Bath
Add some soothing music and scented bath oil and let your stress just melt away!
* Get Back To Nature
Nature can be a great stress-reducer. Drive to the ocean and take a walk on the beach or just watch the waves rolling ashore. Stroll through a flower garden or nature trail. Listen to a tape of ocean sounds or birds.
Relaxing for 15 minutes or more a day, using these techniques or others that you might discover on your own, can go a long way in relieving stress.
