Job number one: learn to relax, really.
“There’s some specific breathing techniques, most of them derived from yoga that are very powerful methods…”
Simply make your breathing deeper, slower and more regular. Another way to calm the mind and body is through daily meditation. And even though it’s hard to fit into the day, exercise is a great stress reliever According to Weil; there are a few more tips to help reduce stress, “Making sure you get good sleep, avoiding excessive use of caffeine, which can worsen stress.”
