- Tense muscles
- Rapid heartbeat
- Shallow breaths
- Reduced patience
- *Brain fog – difficulty thinking clearly and moving forward on daily responsibilities

- Inhale deeply and slowly, with an even slower count on exhale – at least 5 times in a row.
- Be in the moment and acknowledge one to two small good things in front of you right now.
