Take 5 slow deep breaths
Unclench your jaw and relax your shoulders
Step away from the stressful situation for a few minutes
Drink a glass of water
Do a 2-minute walk
Stretch your neck, back, and hands
Inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6 counts
Put your phone on silent for a short break
Focus on one task at a time
Write down the main source of stress
Listen to calm music
Wash your face with cool water
Sit down and plant both feet on the floor
Repeat a simple calming phrase to yourself
Avoid caffeine if you feel overwhelmed
Get fresh air
Tidy one small area around you
Call or text someone supportive
Eat a light, healthy snack if you are hungry
Close your eyes for 1 minute
