How do you manage stress?

Pause. Breathe. Continue.

It's that simple.

When stress kicks in, take a moment and pause.

Bring your awareness to your breath. You may find that you're breathing shallowly.

Breathe deeply. Sigh it out if the environment permits.

This allows you to ground yourself in the present moment.

Not in the past - ruminating on what you may or may not have missed.

Nor in the future - what you may or may not accomplish.

But in the present situation.

Now you are ready to move on.
