What are some methods to quickly relax?

Type of stress?: Some methods work better than others, depending on the circumstances. You can try taking a deep breath, then let the air out slowly, imagining you are a balloon with a hole the width of a pin, leaking air very slowly. This often helps. A person trained in emotional freedom technique (eft) can teach you an easy way to decrease feelings of stress pretty quickly.

Slow down: The words relaxing and quickly do not go together. Relaxing means slowing down your breathing, heart rate, thinking, and movements. We are all so hurried these days that it is difficult to relax. Start by picking some time during the day when you can slow down and relax in a quiet room with the lights dimmed, perhaps soft music and a comfortable chair. Don't think, just use your senses.
