1. Grounding

   This is used in the moment. During a test, an interview, a presentation, a method that can be used on the spot. Simply focus on your feet. Feel the ground and maybe due some wiggling. You'll be surprised at how it shifts your focus from the stress and calms you

2. Deep Breath

   Literally just doing 1 deep breath is all it takes to get your focus back. All you got to do is

   breath in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, and breathe out for 6 seconds. If you don't feel as relaxed as you'd like, you can most definitely repeat that until you get it right.

   
   

3. Appreciate Sound

   Likely the cause to your stress is probably something that causes sound. However, try to focus on little things. I'm

   talking things that are often annoying to us and appreciate them. The sound of pen clicking, steps walking, maybe make a beat out of them as see how it redirects your attention.

4. Meditate as SOON as you wake up

   Literally just take a minute or even a couple deep breaths before you get out of bed. Look around your room (take some sips of water), and just enjoy silence for a moment. This will help ground you and give you even a couple minutes for your body to render the new changes without needing to do something.

5. Body Processing

   Simply, notice how your body works. Not in the scientific way but just look at your hand, see how it shakes a little, notice how your feet wiggle, your stomach rumbles, and get curious as to why or how our bodies work. Getting curious about something is a great way to focus on something else and let your body forget about the stress!

These 5 methods are great and can help you lower your natural heart rates, get better focus, and increase your energy levels greatly! Give them a try right now and see how they work!
