"Simple psychological practices like self-affirmation of values, that is, going back and saying - what are my values, what do I stand for? Taking a little time just to write for a couple of minutes can reduce stress. The more we can exercise the frontal lobe of our brain the more we can gain control over our emotions." – Dr. Ian Robertson
