One on my favorite stress management exercises is to ask my counseling and anger management clients to imagine themselves getting up from a really good nights sleep, and to note how refreshed they feel as they pull the covers off, and move their body toward the next right thing to do.

Find your favourite comic (Calvin & Hobbes, or Snoopy or Beano) and laugh. Enjoy yourself. Whenever life got challenging when I was living in the monastery I always got out Calvin & Hobbes. This was my major stress reliever!

Slowing down and engaging in rhythmic large-scale activities that require complete focus on the movement take you out of your mind and direct you to focus on your physical self. And the stress eases or disappears.

Take your vitamins. Most bosses, since they are already swamped with the things they need to do tend to neglect their health.

Just like essential oils, slow and relaxing music can help reduce the stress you have. Choose some soothing songs can close your eyes while you enjoy and relax. Hypnotic audios are also a great way to induce yourself in a relaxation trance.

Dance to your own music. Put on some music with a peppy beat and dance around your living room. Or put on something classical and let your inner ballerina come out. If those aren't for you, turn to a rocker beat and have fun banging your head like you did when you were a teenager.

This technique was innovated during the early 20th century and is focused on creating awareness of body sensations through passive concentration.
