Take slow, deep breaths
Inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6 counts
Unclench your jaw
Relax your shoulders
Stretch your neck and back
Drink a glass of water
Step outside for fresh air
Walk for 5 to 10 minutes
Splash cold water on your face
Close your eyes for 1 minute
Listen to calming music
Put your phone on silent
Tidy one small area
Write down what is stressing you
Focus on one task at a time
Avoid caffeine for the moment
Eat a light, healthy snack
Talk to someone you trust
Practice grounding by naming 5 things you see
Repeat a calming phrase to yourself
