Stress Management Techniques That Actually Stick

Stress isn’t just a feeling — it’s a load on your system. Reduce the load and restore capacity:

Daily reset

2–5 minutes of breathwork or a short walk helps your nervous system downshift.

Create small boundaries: no-meeting focus blocks, end-of-day shutdown, phone on do-not-disturb in the evening.

Use transitions (after a meeting, commute, lunch) for quick resets instead of waiting for weekends.

If stress is chronic or escalating, coaching can help you build a sustainable plan.
