Learn your physical stress signs: tight shoulders, shallow breathing, racing thoughts. Identify triggers: time pressure, uncertainty

Master Box Breathing15–35 min

Inhale 4 counts, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. Repeat 5 times. This activates parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress immediately

5-4-3-2-1 method: name 5 things you see, 4 hear, 3 touch, 2 smell, 1 taste. Brings mind to present, calms anxiety

Exercise regularly, sleep 7-9 hours, eat well, limit caffeine. These reduce baseline stress. Practice meditation 10 minutes daily

Create Your Action Plan75–90 min

Write your stress toolkit: 3 immediate techniques, 3 daily practices, 3 weekly habits. Practice until automatic

Pro Tip

Prevention through sleep, exercise, and meditation is more effective than stress management alone
