A Quick Tip to Help You Calm Down Quickly

It’s easy to start feeling overwhelmed when you have several things on your task list, incoming work calls, and emails from your managers or clients. Life is full of stressors, and it’s almost impossible to avoid them.

Instead of trying to dodge every stressful situation or event that comes your way, finding ways to cope with stress is more appropriate. When you’re able to create coping strategies, you can build resilience and overcome future challenges more easily.

One of the best things that you can do when you’re feeling stressed is to stop what you’re doing, find a quiet place to sit and do some breathing exercises.

By taking deep, slow breaths, you can activate your parasympathetic nervous system.  This is the branch of your autonomic nervous system that’s responsible for calming you down and making you feel relaxed.
