• Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I
  clear my mind. May I take this moment to refresh
  myself.
• For a vast majority of those in the workforce,
  the correlation between stress and your work life
  is a familiar pattern. Every field has stressful
  situations, so learning how to manage stress at
  work is one of the biggest ways you can take
  charge of achieving a more balanced state of
  being. You can try out some of these tips below
  for dealing with tension during the course of
  your workday.

• Stepping Outside Staying inside all day long
  can intensify any tension you might feel. When is
  the last time you stopped to take a break and
  step outside for a few minutes? Taking a deep
  breath of fresh air will help you relax and
  refresh yourself. A small amount of time outside
  can do wonders in lightening your load.

• Breathing Techniques There are many
  different breathing techniques designed to lower
  your level of stress at work. Implementing these
  quick routines into your daily schedule can have
  a wonderfully positive impact on your mood. Here
  are two breathing exercises I use with my
  clients
• Exhaling with Sound This is my favorite
  breathing technique, because it releases stress
  from deep inside.

5

• Breathe in, expanding your belly
• Hold the breath for a few moments
• Now exhale with a sigh of releaseahhhhh!
•  
• Sighing often gets a bad rap, but it actually
  is a phenomenal way to beat stress. Try it, and
  don't be shy about making a little noise!

• Deep Breathing Sometimes the simplest
  technique is the best, because you can do it
  anytime and anywhere
• Breathe in slowly and deeply through your
  nose, letting the air fill your lungs and
  abdomen
• Slowly exhale through your nose or mouth,
  letting out all of the air

• Deep breathing is a simple and effective way
  to calm your mind and body.
• Guided Relaxation Listening to guided
  relaxation during a break in your workday can
  give your downtime a completely new meaning. The
  gentle guidance gives your mind something to
  follow, keeping you in a positive, relaxed state
  for a while. So the next time you take a break
  from your work, I invite you to try a guided
  relaxation recording. It can be an amazing way to
  retrain yourself on positive ways to handle the
  chaos in your career.

• Tomorrow is a New Day Learning to pace
  yourself is also a great way to reduce your
  stress levels when it comes to your job. It helps
  to remember that tomorrow is a new day with new
  possibilities. Its a fresh start to finish
  whatever project you have on your to-do list.
  Reminding yourself of that fact can go a long way
  in helping you manage your stress.
• May you find a time for relaxation to refresh
  you.
