How to Do Things Right

How To Relieve Stress

1. Realize that something is not right. When you feel like that tense feeling you must then realize that something is not right.
2. Stop what you are doing.
   Leave the area that or the project that you are engulfed in. I would recommend that if you could, go outside. Fresh air does the body and the mind so much good. If you are not able to leave the building, then go to the bathroom.
3. Once you are away from the area, and then take a few deep breaths. You could also do some stretching exercises. The exercises make all of those tight muscles less tense.
4. Go talk to someone. Even if you are not familiar with the person that you are talking to, try this. This will take your mind off of the situation that you are being faced with.
5. Go back to the area that you were at if you feel that you are ready. If you still feel stressed then you may want to take a longer break.
6. Once you start back doing the job, or project that you was previously doing make sure that you breathe slowly and do not let the job get to you.
   If you are still feeling stressed then you may want to ask someone to help you.
7. If there is not any help around, then just stop the project and then walk away and come back to it at a later time.
8. The whole point is to not let things get to you.
