Breathe- Take a deep breath. Draw the oxygen into your belly. 

Relax- Tense all muscles for 7 seconds. Slowly relax each muscle, one at a time.

Take Inventory- Identify areas of tension in your body. Start with scalp, moving down.

Stretch- Unleash pent up stress by stretching your muscles out.

Listen- Research shows blood pressure lowers when people listen rather than talk.

Focus- Try to maintain sustained attention on only one thing at a time

Meditate- Find a quite space, a comfortable position and keep a passive attitude.

Visualize- Just imagine yourself relaxing deeply in whatever scene you choose.

Deep Relaxation- Simply count backwards from ten, very slowly.
