the acute stress response, refers to a

of hormones that prepare your body to
either stay and deal with a threat or to
run away to safety.

 FIVE TIPS TO HELP
MANAGE STRESS
1. Take a deep breath
• Breathing exercises can help you relax, 
because they make your body feel like it 
does when you are already relaxed. Deep 
breathing is one of the best ways to 
lower stress in the body. This is because 
when you breathe deeply, it sends a 
message to your brain to calm down and 
Right way to deep breath:
1.Sit or lie
comfortably, with
loose garments.
2.Put one hand on your
chest and one on your
stomach.
3.Slowly inhale through
your nose or through
pursed lips (to slow
down the intake of
4.As you inhale, feel
your stomach
expand with your
hand.
5.Slowly exhale
through pursed lips
to regulate the
release of air.
6. Rest and repeat.
2. Smile and
laugh
• Our brains are
interconnected with our
emotions and facial
expressions. When people
are stressed, they often
hold a lot of the stress in
their face. So laughs or
smiles can help relieve
some of that tension and
improve the situation.
3. Get social
support
• Call a friend, send an email. When
you share your concerns or feelings
with another person, it does help
relieve stress. But it’s important that
the person whom you talk to is
someone whom you trust and whom
you feel can understand and validate
you. If your family is a stressor, for
example, it may not alleviate your
stress if you share your works woes
with one of them.
4. Meditate
• Meditation and mindful prayer help
the mind and body to relax and
focus. Mindfulness can help people
see new perspectives, develop self-
compassion and forgiveness. When
practicing a form of mindfulness,
people can release emotions that
may have been causing the body
physical stress. Much like exercise,
research has shown that even
meditating briefly can reap
immediate benefits.
5. Exercise
• Exercise benefits your mind
just as well as your body. We
keep hearing about the long-
term benefits of a regular
exercise routine. But even a
20-minute walk, run, swim or
dance session in the midst of a
stressful time can give an
immediate effect that can last
for several hours.
