Routine No 814 - Stress management

1-minute recharge.

Close your eyes. Breathe slowly. Visualize something relaxing; for example, laying on a beach, or walking in the woods. Heighten the experience: sun on your face, waves crashing on the shore, breeze caressing your hands and legs …

If you work in an office, do this for one minute on your commute before you arrive or whenever you feel the need to destress and find your focus.

WHY IT HELPS:
Slow, deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s ”rest and digest”-response. This can help to counteract the effects of stress.
