Simple Techniques to Ease Stress in Five Minutes or Less (Guest Post)

Whether you’re stressed about work, dealing with some family drama, or feeling anxiety about any one of a million possible things, the fact is that many of us feel stressed out on the regular. And if we’re not addressing those stressed-out feelings just as regularly, those feelings can become overwhelming.

Fortunately, there are quite a few simple ways to calm down — fast — but some require a little advance planning. For example, listening to music or a guided meditation can be seriously helpful, but that’s easiest to do if you have a playlist of relaxing tunes downloaded or a meditation app at the ready when you need it. Same thing goes if you benefit from watching an autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) video, so have a couple saved. Of course, a breathing exercise, going for a walk, or sitting down to journal are also excellent options, and they require little to know pre-planning. But those aren’t your only options, so be sure to take a look at the graphic below for more ideas.
