Deep Breathing
How to use: Find a quiet place, sit comfortably, and close your eyes. Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your abdomen to expand. Hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this cycle for 5-10 minutes.
Why it works: Deep breathing activates the body's relaxation response, lowering stress hormones and promoting a sense of calm. This helps you sustain the feeling of relief and prevents residual stress from affecting your well-being.
