Immediate Stress Reduction

Step 1: Take a break

Step 2: Change perspective

• Change the scenery, i.e. go for a quick walk around the block

• Search and focus on something really nice that makes you a good feeling

Step 3: Use your breath

• 10x Let Go Breathing

• With every inhale you repeat the word "let"

• With every exhale you repeat the word "go"

Step 4: Set your focus

• With closed eyes, ask yourself again what is important right now for you

• Then ask yourself what is important for your work at the moment

• Continue asking yourself what do you need to fulfil what you need to do

• Note whatever comes into your mind in this small meditation

• Bring your focus on your needs and plan some time and space today to fulfil your needs

• Set priorities to fulfil your needs first

Step 5: Activate your body
