Reduce stress is key: That's how tension headache gets its name! So, to reduce it, do things in your life that de-stresses you, like taking walks in nature, slow down, meditating, drinking tea and hydrating, relaxing your muscles like what's done in hatha yoga doing slow stretches, massage.Do things opposite that makes you feel hurried, rushed, overwhelmed or overcommitted. Start saying, 'No' to others, and yes for U!
