Short mediation always nice:)

@ofirenglin Do you use it when stressed or as a preventative? Also is it better when starting a day or ending or mixture of both?

Go Rock Climbing or play squash.
Rock climbing keeps you focussed in the moment by it's very nature.
Squash also keeps you in the moment because of its fast pace and necessary focus on the angles.
Exercise. Nothing else compares for me.
@brenna_donoghue Anything in particular?
Sleep , excercise and good green tea

Diving is one of the best ways to reduce stress and anxiety down to zero. But its not always possible to do it.

I prefer a long walk without any music. Tried meditation a few times but didn't work for me, just couldn't concentrate. Walk is the best meditation.
Walk for a mile and you will see the difference!
@varunvarma91 Thanks! Yeah, I agree. Just started to practice this recently.
There is a very simple way to reduce stress, anxiety and worry and that is to stop thinking. When you stop thinking you stop worrying, you stop giving things power over you. The moment you realize that thoughts are just thoughts and are not facts, your stress and anxiety are gone.
@socialbhat How do you stop thinking though?
Think about something else, focus on alternative work. Keep your brains buzy with a puzzle, take a walk, if nothing works call MOM :)
Daily walking an hour without phone. Lifting weights four days a week also works.
Focus on breathing & listening concentrate on the healing frequency music
@pankti_shah_910 Any suggestions on healing music? Do you listen to certain frequencies, instruments, or what works best for you?
@pankti_shah_910 I sometimes listen to them on youtube. Thanks for the suggestion :)
For me it's definitely exercise and just getting outside. Picked up running during quarantine as a way to get myself out in the sun — such an energy and mood booster. Sitting inside at a desk all day is a recipe for a bunch of unnecessary stress and anxiety! 🙅🏻♂️
@hugh_lagrotteria Thanks for your input, I couldn`t agree more.

A good yoga practice always reduces my stress level 🧘
Being a former athlete - the gym is always the number one way. Have also tried mediation, and taking long walks with no phone.

@vishal_godhwani Thanks for asking :) I forgot to answer my own question.
Anything with music, water and self expression really. I really need to get in touch with my emotions ( cause of stress) to move them through the body and then sooth them. It can be swiming, dancing, singing, talking things out with someone, creating art etc.
There are many quick stress-relieving techniques for everyone to try.
For instance, take slow, deep breaths; listen to music; walk outside; give yourself a hand massage; count backward and do some stretching.
@shaur_ul_asar Thanks for your input. All of them makes sense. What about hand massage? I haven`t heard this before. Is it just overall sensation or any specific points (acupuncture)?

Walking is a great way to get natural relief. You can walk on the beach or in the park to reduce stress and anxiety.

1h bike ride or walk with music I enjoy. Best if you could do it in nature. This is my daily detox.
But if you want something quick, try the 4-7-8 technique.
- Inhale for 4 sec
- Hold breath for 7 sec
- Exhale for 8 sec
- Repeat this 4-5 times
It slows your breathing and heartbeat down and reduces anxiety, also helps you fall asleep faster. Note that you have to practice this for a few days to start to see real benefits.

@luka_vasic I like this one. I think there are various possibilities for a quick breathing technique break. But this one is good :)
@luka_vasic I totally get that. Cycling and nature and music... Sounds sooo good. I haven`t done this in a while. Thanks for bringing it up.

3 long and deep breaths always do wonders for me!
It's usually one of the three things for me:
1. Hitting the gym
2. Buy new sneakers
3. Long drives with nice music and a strong cup of cardamom tea :)
@imadbadri I can relate, with few minor modifications 😎
