Take some steps to stay calm under pressure and to escape the stress before it gets to you and affects your health and daily life.

Instructions

• 1

  Breathe in and out. When we tend to feel overwhelmed, we forget to breathe deep. Shallow breath does not help us in situations and can only bring on and increase anxiety. Take 5 minutes to stop and breathe and regain your stability.

• 2

  Take yourself away from the situation. If you seem to be in overwhelming situations lately, it is best to walk away for awhile. In more serious cases of intense pressure, consider taking a vacation.

• 3

  Stop what you are doing. Go do some form of exercise. Make time for a swim, a stroll outside within nature or maybe an energetic run. Exercise can keep a sense of balance in our mind and body and help us stay calm in stressful situations.

• 4

  Eat healthy. Even when you feel that life is upside down, try to eat a balanced and healthy diet. Start your day off will a full energy meal to keep you strong in tough situations at work and daily life.

  Keep positive things around you. Keep positive affirmations around you to take a moment and escape the pressure. Put photos of family, of tropical islands or of motivating dreams around you. Stay positive and calm.
