Practice Some Relaxation Techniques

If you find yourself feeling worried or stressed out here are just two strategies you can practice at home to help you calm down.

Breathe in slowly while counting to 4, hold your breath and count silently to 7,  breath out slowly while counting to 8.



Practice Your Mindfulness Skills


Mindfulness means that you let yourself slow down for a little bit and just focus on what is happening right in the moment.

When you are mindful you are able to think clearer, be calm and even feel happier.
