Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Tune into your level of stress. Take a deep breath as you bring both of your arms straight out in front of you with your palms clenched holding all that stress. Keep your arms straight and solid so they feel like they are two unyielding steel bars. Hold, hold, hold your breath, squishing the muscles in your face. Keep holding your arms out in front of you with your palms clenched as tight as you can. Now, exhale audibly as you drop those arms down. Do this two more times. Feel how much better you feel, and bring this feeling to the rest of your day!
