Here’s a trick that’ll reduce your stress in under a minute……
Try this exercise: Inhale deeply and as you do, raise your shoulders toward your ears. As you exhale slowly, push your shoulders down.
Repeat that 5 times. According to stress management experts, incorporating a shoulder shrug into deep breathing releases the tension we hold in our neck, shoulders and upper back. It also increases the output of endorphins, which cancel out stress hormones. And the deep breathing reduces heart rate and blood pressure. So combine it all – and you’ll shrug off your stress in under 60 seconds.
