Stress is a part of life, but it doesn’t have to control it. Good news: you can learn to manage it with just 5 minutes a day. Here’s how:
🌬️ 1. Conscious breathing (2 min)
Close your eyes. Inhale deeply through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat 5 times. This instantly calms the nervous system.
🧠 2. Body scanner (1 min)
Focus on your body, from head to toe. Relax each part by breathing. This helps release tension.
✍️ 3. Note 1 positive thing (1 min)
Write down just one thing you’re grateful for today. This focuses your mind on the positive.
📵 4. Screen-free break (1 min)
Step away from the phone. Look out the window, listen to the sounds around you. Come back to the present moment.
