Don’t stress it! Breathe!

To be brief – stress is bad for you!

Here’s a tip for distressing at work from the article, Defusing the mental and emotional pressures that take a toll on cardiac health:

While seated in a desk chair, cross your left ankle over your right thigh, hand forward over your crossed legs, allowing your head to hang toward your left shin, ideally even with or below your heart (but don't force it). Hold for five slow deep breaths, and then switch legs and repeat.

"Folding forward with your head even or below your heart with the support of the chair calms your nervous system," she [Allison English, of Equinox fitness clubs] said. "Opening your hips relaxes your back and lets you walk through your day more calmly, while deep breathing is the ultimate must  for lowering your blood pressure and stress."
