FIVE SCIENCE-BASED TIPS

TO MANAGE YOUR STRESS

CALM YOURSELF
Slowly breathe in for 4, hold it for 4,
and then breathe out for 6. Repeat 10 times.

FOCUS YOURSELF
Slow your racing thoughts by counting backwards
by three in your mind from 100 (100, 97, 94, etc.).

RELAX YOURSELF
One by one, tense each muscle group in your body for 10
seconds and then release. Notice how it feels to let your
muscles relax and have the tension leave your body.

GROUND YOURSELF
Do a quick scan of your body and notice the air
around you and any surfaces you are touching.
If possible, close your eyes and focus on the sensations,
textures, and temperatures.

CELEBRATE YOURSELF
You are dealing with huge challenges. Think about 3 things
that went well today. If they involved another person,
recognize and thank them whenever possible.
