The team at Arsenal Yards asked me to come and speak about simple ways to destress at both home and work, so… of course I want to share this with all of you!

  1. Change the Environment
  2. Breathing Exercises: 4-8-8
  3. Workplace Stretching
  4. Go for a Walk
  5. Hydrate
  6. Find a Creative Outlet: cooking, photography, etc.
  7. Write: express thoughts/gratitude
