Answer to the Quora question of the day: What are some practical relaxation techniques or routines that can help me deal with daily work stress and exhaustion?

If you are comfortable with breathing techniques here are two types to look into:

1) box breathing is a great technique to calm your nervous system and reduce stress. A simple four-step relaxation technique that uses equal counts of breathing in, holding, and breathing out.

2) 4–6 breathing called resonance breathing or extended exhalation breathing and this one intentionally extends your exhale to send an immediate signal to your vagus nerve.

Mindset is great to use too. Some ideas are:

1. Reframe your work load with 3–5 aspects you know your work helps others or contributes to a bigger picture (its value).

2. Play with words when describing and talking about your work stress and exhaustion; not to repress it, to put it into a perspective that doesn't fuel the negative energy.

Community is important, so building a micro-community even if it's one other person.

1. Colleagues to support making a better work environment

2. Friend or family member to talk to, in a way that shares the emotions, not negative rumination or amplifying the stress. Healthy emotional release, constructive conversations.

Lastly, but most importantly, get good rest, food/nutrition, and if exercise is possible, even just 10 minutes (a walk near nature or a walk where you visualize, breath, and bring your body-mind to ease).

I have more, but I'll stop here. Hope they help.
