Tips to manage stress while at work

Passive Stretches
One of easy way to relax muscles without much effort and in this exercise gravity does it all for you.

Start with your neck 
  • Let your head fall forward to the right. 
  • Breathe in and out normally. With every breath out, allow your head to fall more. 
 Repeat the same process for shoulders, arms, back.

Relaxing Postures
This is another easy way.
  • Sit anywhere. 
  • Relax your shoulders so that they are comfortably rounded. 
  • Allow your arms to drop by your sides. Rest your hands, palm side up, on top of your thighs. 
  • With your knees comfortably bent, extend your legs and allow your feet, supported on heels, to fall gently outward. 
  • Let your jaw drop. 
  • Close your eyes and breathe deeply for a minute or two. 

Awakening Activeness
  • Comfortable Sit/recline and close your eyes if you can, and relax your muscles
  • Inhaling deeply. To make sure that you are breathing deeply, place one hand on your abdomen, the other on your chest. Breath in slowly through your nose, and as you do you should feel your abdomen (not your chest) rise
  • Slowly exhale. As you do, focus on your breathing. Some people do better if they silently repeat the word one as they exhale; it helps clear the mind
  • If thoughts intrude, do not dwell on them; allow them to pass on and return to focusing on your breathing.
