Strategy 4: Listen to Your Body
If you listen to your body, it will let you know when you are pushing too much. If you're feeling tense, pay attention to your physical sensations. Does your neck hurt? Are your jaw muscles feel­ing tight? Once you've located where the tension in your body is, you can go about trying to ease it. A book like The Daily Relaxer, by Mat­thew McKay and Patrick Fanning, can help out by providing lots of relaxation strategies. Look in appendix A for information about this book.
When you feel pressured or stressed out, be good to yourself and take a little time off. Do something you really enjoy. It could be as simple as taking a walk, watching a sunset, reading a book or having lunch with a friend. But it should be something special, just for you. You will gain renewed energy from such a diversion.

18. Chapter 5 - Identify Stressors page 90
Strategy 5: Learn Deep Breathing According to Starlanyl and Copeland (1996), "Deep breathing will help to rid your body of waste gases. It also massages some of your organs and improves your mental clarity and focus. By breathing mindfully and consciously, and slowing and deepening your breath, you can relax and ease anxiety and stress." 1. Lie on your back with your legs extended and your arms comfortable at your sides. 2. Place one arm on your chest and the other on your abdomen. 3. Inhale slowly through your nose. You should feel your stomach expanding, which will cause the hand on your abdomen to rise. The hand on your chest shouldn't move much. 4. Exhale slowly, first through your nose and then through your mouth until the whole breath has been expelled.
