Stress has a sneaky way of creeping up on us, especially when we’re juggling so much. But before it takes over, there are some simple, effective ways to manage it. You deserve to feel calm and in control, even on your busiest days.

Here are 4 stress-relief tips to help you feel more centered:

1. Start your day with a calming morning routine.
How you start your morning can impact your entire day. Consider waking up just 10 minutes earlier to create a peaceful moment for yourself.

Whether it's stretching, enjoying a slow cup of coffee, or spending a few quiet minutes reflecting, a calm start can set a positive tone for everything that follows.

These few minutes can make a big difference in your mindset throughout the day.

2. Practice deep breathing exercises between classes.
When the day starts to feel overwhelming, a few minutes of intentional deep breathing can reset your mind and body.

Techniques like 4-7-8 breathing (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8) or box breathing (4 seconds each to inhale, hold, exhale, hold) can calm your nerves and help you regain focus.

These exercises are quick, discreet, and can be done anywhere, even while your students are transitioning between activities.

3. Use your lunch break as a time to reset mentally.
Instead of working through lunch, give yourself permission to take a break.

Step away from your desk, go for a short walk, or sit quietly to enjoy a moment of stillness.

This mental break gives your brain the rest it needs to be more productive for the rest of the day. It’s your time to recharge, so make the most of it!

4. Say 'no' to extra tasks when your plate is full.
Boundaries are essential for managing stress, and sometimes, that means saying no. It’s okay to decline extra tasks when you're already stretched thin.

Protect your time and energy by focusing on what’s most important, and remember that it’s not selfish to prioritize your well-being.
