5. Meditate
Quiet the mind and engage in exercises that help you focus on your breathing, an object, or your body sensations. The goal is to relax the mind, body and spirit. I am in the middle of releasing a 5 minute meditation guide. To receive an update on when the guide is released I would recommend that you signup for newsletter.

6. Take a Walk
It forces you to breathe more deeply and improves circulation. Step outside if you can; if that's not possible, you can gain many of the same benefits simply by walking to the bathroom or water cooler, or by pacing back and forth. The key is to get up and move.

7. Stretch
Muscles tighten during the course of the day, and when we feel stressed out, the process accelerates. Stretching loosens muscles and encourages deep breathing. One of the greatest stress-relieving stretches is a yoga position called the child pose, which stretches the back muscles. On a rug or mat, kneel, sit back on your heels, then lean forward and put your forehead on the floor and your arms alongside your legs, palms up. Hold for one to three minutes.

8 Get yourself a stress ball
Studies have shown that keeping a stress ball with you helps when you feel stressed out. Squeezing the stress ball stimulates your nervous system and thus relaxes you out. Always keep a stress ball handy.
