Useful strategies for managing stress and anxiety include:

  • Exercise. Currently, many studies have shown that exercise has a powerful anti-stress effect.
  • Do diaphragmatic breathing exercises: breathe in slowly through your nose and then exhale through your mouth using your diaphragm and abdominal muscles.
  • Do meditation.
  • Do relaxation exercises.
  • Have good sleep habits: sleep between 7 and 8 hours.
  • Maintaining social relationships.

Breathing exercises usually reduce anxiety considerably, and those who have the opportunity to do yoga and tai chi exercises, which can be done both at home and outdoors, release a lot of stress.
