1. Meditation - meditation is a great way to relieve stress and reduce anxiety. All you need is five minutes and a quiet place to sit.
2. Progressive Muscle Relaxation - this simple yet effective technique encourages you to tense and relax your muscles from head-to-toe.
3. Exercise - regular physical exercise can help reduce both stress and anxiety levels in the long-term.
4.Soothing Sounds  – listening to soothing or calming sounds, such as ocean waves, birds singing or yoga Nidras can all encourage relaxation.
5.Breathing techniques- focusing on taking slow, regulated breaths helps encourage the body's natural relaxation response which counters the effects of stress and anxiety hormones on your body.
6.Journaling  – writing down feelings, worries and plans helps identify anxious thoughts before they worsen, plus it also allows an individual express their emotions in a safe way without bottling them up.

7.Take Time for Self-Care  – make sure that you take the time every day to do something that makes you feel pampered or spoilt—such as getting a facial or manicure. This can restore inner peace so that it's easier to manage stressors throughout your day.

8.Unplug Yourself– take regular breaks throughout the day from technology (phones included) in order not get too overwhelmed by life's struggles which can pile up if unattended.



Hope these tips prove useful!
