1. Meditate
Includes walking – any activity that helps keep your attention calmly in the present moment.
2. Picture yourself relaxed
Visualize anything that keeps your thoughts away from current tensions, like a favorite vacation spot.
3. Breathe deeply
Use your belly and chest!

Talk to a coworker about the good things in your life.

When you sense your temper is about to erupt, find a quiet place to sit and put the stressful situation on hold.

Try classical music!
