You might be at work, at home, or out running errands.
Suddenly, you feel stressed.
It happens to everyone.
But don’t worry; you can feel better without needing a quiet room or fancy tools.
There are simple things you can do right where you are.
• Close your eyes for a moment and breathe slowly.
Inhale through your nose for a count of four, then exhale through your mouth for another four.
This helps calm your mind.
• Look around you. Is there something nice you can notice?
Maybe it’s the sunlight coming through a window or the smell of your favorite coffee.
Finding something to appreciate can lift your mood.
Remember, mental health is a journey, and every little thing counts.
Keep these simple exercises in mind, and use them whenever you feel stressed.
Taking care of your mind is important, and you can do it anywhere you are.
