How to reduce stress in 60 seconds

Producer: Newzhealth

Deep Breathing: Inhale slowly, hold, exhale gently. This activates your body’s calming response.

Use cold water: Cold water on your face or place an ice pack on your forehead to instantly feel calmer.

Name your emotion: Say out loud: “I feel anxious.” Labeling emotions helps reduce their intensity.

Take a walk: Step outside for fresh air and sunlight. Boosts serotonin and lowers cortisol.

Acupressure point activation: Press the spot between your thumb and index finger for 60 seconds while breathing slowly.

Practice mindfulness: Notice: 5 things you see 4 you can touch 3 you hear 2 you smell 1 you taste

Listening to calm music: Calm tunes or singing out loud can relax your mind and stimulate your vagus nerve.
