Quick Way to Drop Stress
There's an old yoga saying, "As go the eyes, so goes the breathing". I would add: as goes the breathing so go the mind and body.
Notice that, when you're tense, you've tightened up your eyes.
Every now and then, notice the muscles around your eyes. If you're holding them tightly, if you're squinting a little, let the muscles relax. Let them feel like they're sliding down your face. Your breathing will instantly relax, too - becoming slower, more restful and more even.
