LINCOLN, R.I. (PRWEB) April 21, 2015 -- April is National Stress Awareness Month, and Amica Insurance is sharing some tips to help reduce stress.
Jean Tapley, senior wellness coordinator at Amica, says it’s a good idea to incorporate the following steps into your daily routine to stay ahead of stress in the workplace:
Take slow, deep breaths:
- Inhale through your nose.
- Exhale through your mouth.
- Repeat one to 10 times, as time allows.
Try simple meditation:
- Find a quiet place. Sit or lie in a comfortable position.
- Close your eyes or focus on one spot directly in front of you.
- Bring your attention to your breath, and let busy thoughts float away.
- Each time thoughts try to intrude, return your focus to your breath.
Imagine you are on a mini vacation:
- Visualize a beautiful location.
- Notice details like temperature, time of day, textures and small variations in colors.
- The length is time is not critical to the exercise. Even a few minutes can be beneficial.
