“I recommend my clients curate their own stress toolbox – a collection of anything that makes you feel positive, relaxed, calm and at peace. For some, this may be something active, like sport or yoga, while for others this could be meditation or connecting with friends. If you’re not sure where to start, use your environment. What’s around you, and what’s within a reasonable travel distance that could help you feel good – a beach, a lake, a park? Also consider movement – using your body in a positive way can make you feel up to 85% better, it’s your most powerful tool. If all else fails, practise a time-travel visualisation technique. Jump one or two years into the future and ask yourself if your situation will be as stressful and important then. This is a simple way to direct your focus and attention from where you are now.”
