Deep breathing is a simple but powerful way to calm your nervous system and reduce stress.

- Sit or lie down comfortably.
- Breathe deeply through your nose, letting your belly expand.
- Hold your breath for a few seconds and slowly exhale through your mouth.
- Repeat for 5-10 minutes.
Why it works: It lowers your heart rate and cortisol levels, which provides instant relaxation.
2. Progressive muscle relaxation
This technique helps release physical tension by systematically tightening and relaxing your muscles.
How do you do it?
- Start at your feet and tighten the muscles for 5 seconds.
- Then relax completely and feel the difference.
- Work up through your body this way: calves, thighs, abdomen, arms, shoulders and face.
Why it works: It helps you become aware of tension in your body and actively release it.
3. Mindfulness meditation
Mindfulness helps you stay in the moment and let go of negative thoughts.
How do you do it?
- Sit quietly and close your eyes.
- Focus on your breathing or repeat a calming word, such as "rest."
