Feeling stressed but short on time? Here's how you can reduce anxiety and reclaim calm in under five minutes—anywhere, anytime.
Stress can sneak up on you during meetings, while waiting in line, or even in between tasks. The good news? You don't need a big time commitment to reset your mind.
Try these quick mindfulness tips:
- Take three deep, slow breaths, focusing on the air entering and leaving your lungs.
- Ground yourself by noticing five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear.
- Pause and stretch your neck or shoulders to release physical tension.
- Close your eyes for 30 seconds and visualize a peaceful place.
One of our clients found that these simple moments helped reduce her overwhelm at work and improved her focus throughout the day.
Mindfulness isn't about escaping stress—it's about meeting it with awareness and kindness. When you practice these quick techniques, you empower yourself to respond rather than react.
