1. Start Your Morning with Mindful Moments 
Before jumping into your to-do list, take a few quiet minutes for yourself. Whether it's simple breathwork, a short meditation, or just sipping your tea without distractions, these mindful moments help set a grounded tone for the day. Starting calm makes it easier to stay calm, no matter what comes your way.

2. Move Your Body, Clear Your Mind  
Exercise isn’t just good for your health — it’s one of the most effective ways to beat stress. Whether it's a morning stretch, a lunchtime walk, or a quick yoga session, getting your body moving helps release mood-boosting endorphins and shake off tension. It doesn’t need to be intense — just consistent.

3. Get Ahead with Time Management  
Overwhelm often starts with poor planning. Create a daily routine that works for you, not against you. Prioritize key tasks, give yourself realistic deadlines, and break bigger jobs into bite-sized steps. Less chaos = less stress.

4. Breathe Your Way Back to Calm  
Stress shows up in your breath — fast, shallow breathing is a sign your nervous system is on high alert. A few slow, deep breaths can quickly shift you into a more relaxed state. Try this: inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Do that for one minute and feel the shift.
