Here are some great ways to deal with daily stress.
Also a lil dedication to the girl in my office who's voice is climbing by the minute!
Stress is a direct relation to how out of control we feel- and yet we sometimes aim to feel out of control after a very long week. When we need to grip onto the chair and say- Stress- its not you its me-no swap that! and i don't want to be friends- I don't like you all that much anyway- lets call it a day and breakup? <3 Kerri
1... *BREATHE*
§ Increased tension results in rapid, shallow breathing. For better relaxation, inhale slowly, hold your breath, and exhale slowly. Count to 8 during each phase.
2...* Sing *
Loud singing demands deep breathing, which relaxes the singer. Hold the notes for as long as you can. When I was younger, I would sing in the bath, now I make very important life decisions in there. Might swap back.

This here can be quite the challenge...try keep quiet when you feel a negative reaction. Choose to silence your phone at night ****
4... * Mental break *
Take a quick "mental break" by envisioning a favorite place in your mind-whether it be the ocean, the mountains, or your own backyard. Concentrate on "seeing", "smelling" and "hearing" the things you imagine.
5... * Draw *
Take your shoes off and draw a zebra. Just do it.
6...* Streeeeeeeetch *
Standard stretching exercises are good for relieving tension. Eating right and regular exercise always helps- try a little yoga and feel the difference.
7... * More you *
What's fun for you can be good for you. Whatever your interests are, indulge them. Feeling competent and in control is relaxing. Be cheerful, it deflates others stress and anxiety. Laugh and smile more.
