Increase Your Activity
- Move for a few minutes: Even a short burst of physical activity, like a brisk walk, dancing, or light stretching, can reduce stress and increase energy.
Practice Relaxation
- Try deep breathing: Close your eyes and take several slow, deep breaths to calm your nerves. Use the 4-in-4-out method or box breathing to shift from the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous system.
- Meditate or do yoga: Even a few minutes of mindful practice can help reduce tension.
Connect with Others
- Reach out to someone supportive: A quick call or text to a friend can provide comfort and ease stress.
Go Outside
- Take a short nature walk: Spending time outdoors can provide a mental break and a sense of calm. The act of stepping outside for a few minutes of fresh air can also change your mindset.
Self Care
- Take care of your emotional health: Take a moment to notice how you're feeling and acknowledge your emotions, minus your phone.
- Take care of your physical health: Ensure your diet is healthy with minimal processed foods and alcohol. Look for supplements such as Natural Factors® MitoFuel that can help relieve stress symptoms and support energy production.
