- Give someone a hug. As long as it’s from somebody you don’t mind hugging, this can be very relaxing.
- Breathe deep through your nose. Close your eyes and pay attention only to your breathing while doing this. Five slow deep breaths is like a mini-meditation.
- Take a walk. Walking is one of the best relaxation techniques if you have at least 10 minutes to spare.
- Be mindful of stressors. By being aware of stressors lurking just below the surface (hunger, worry, a phone call you need to make), you can resolve them and feel more relaxed.
