Q: What are some strategies for managing stress at work or school?
A: Some strategies can help calm our bodies (box breathing) while other strategies are more helpful for calming our minds (writing down to-do lists).
Box breathing can help you refocus. For 5 seconds each: inhale, hold, and then exhale. Repeat.
When feeling overwhelmed by your workload, try physically writing down a to-do list. This tool will help you see what needs prioritized, and then you can break those tasks into smaller, more manageable steps.
Be sure to cross them off your list after you tackle them!
