coming 1xbet best casino website Back to School

By Dorinda Lambert, Ph.D.

Ah…the excitement …the newness or the familiarity…so many opportunities for things to do, people to meet, choices to make!! And with the excitement there is also some stress. STRESS IS AN UNAVOIDABLE FACT OF LIFE! Normal stress keeps you on 1xbet best casino website toes and is not necessarily harmful.

Two quick hints:

1. JUST BREATHE!!!

  • Try this quick training in stress relief/mindfulness/deep breathing, called "RELAX...RELEASE...LET GO"
  • RELAX: Inhale through 1xbet best casino website nose on a count of three while thinking the word RELAX
  • RELEASE: Exhale slowly through 1xbet best casino website mouth on a count of five while thinking the word RELEASE
  • LET GO: As the last bit of breath is released from the diaphragm, give a little push from the diaphragm -like a deep sigh - while thinking the words LET GO.

This is an easy skill to develop. Practice using this multiple times during the day, even when not stressed to train yourself on how to stay focused/balanced so 1xbet best casino website can then use it later in difficult/busy parts of the day.

Hey….you gotta breathe anyway...it takes just a few moments...and you will feel much better in calming 1xbet best casino website mind and 1xbet best casino website body at the same time!!!
