2. Do Self-Acupressure
- Locate, between the eyebrows, the indentation where the bridge of the nose meets the forehead.
- Massage this area with a forefinger for 1-2 minutes as you breathe out any stress.
- Also find the hollow midway below each eyebrow and massage each at the same time with your forefingers for 1-2 minutes as you breathe out any stress.
- Find the left and right occipitals at the base of your skull and massage each at the same time with your thumbs for 1-2 minutes as you breathe out any stress.
- Reach around back and find the inside tip of the top of your left or right shoulder blade and massage it with your forefinger for 1-2 minutes.
- Breathe deeply and apply firm, steady pressure for 1-2 minutes. Then do the other side.
3. Shake and Breathe Deeply Stand or sit, stretch your arms out from your sides and shake your hands vigorously for about 10 seconds. Combine this with deep breathing. This helps loosen the muscles in our neck and upper back where many of us hold tension.
4. Walk, Run, or Do Physical Exercise Any type of physical exercise assists us to breathe deeper and also improves circulation and the elimination of toxins in our bodies. When we exercise our brain produces endorphins, which create a sense of wellbeing. In addition we receive extra benefits when we walk or hike in nature.
5. Call or Talk to a Friend or Journal Discussing our feelings with someone or writing them in a journal can act as a stress reliever.
6. Pet a Cat or Dog
- Researchers have found petting an animal for just a couple of minutes helps relieve stress.
- If you don’t owe a pet, then visit a friend who does.
- Both the pet and the friend will help you.
