Relaxation FilmsMindfulness TechniquesHow to use your Calm Stick
Everyone is different and as such your ritual should be too.
For me, reminding myself to conciously take a break every forty five minutes to an hour for five minutes without screens was the first break through. Now I use a combination of PMRT and breathing as and when with the breaks being my baseline to prevent falling out of balance. Coupling these habbits with my calm stick not only helped me recharge and maintain better productivity through the day, but the ritual now works elsewhere. If i'm feeling stressed, just applying the Calm Stick with the scent & massaging head is all it takes to transport me back to my calm space.

Mindfulness Techniques
Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique
This technique is a great way to divert stress, anxiety or any feeling on edge.
It works by slowly tensing and relaxing isolated muscle groups one at a time. This tunes your conscious and subscious mind into this process. Harnessing concentration and your senses and tuning them away from the hightened state.
Like many mindfulness techniques this may seem obvious, or simplistic. But it genuinely works, it may just take a little practice and consistency at first.
This is not only a great piece of the toolkit to use in troublesome moments, but also great to use in a supportive nature. Using this technique once you get into bed can be a great way to unwind and truly relax as you prepare for sleep!
Breathing Exercises
You've no doubt already heard about breathing exercises and may even use these already in a simple way. Though they're simple in nature, often the most effective things are.
Breathing techniques can be as simple as you need them to be. Slowly breathing in through your nose for the count of 4 and breathing out through your mouth for a count of 4 until you feel more in balance can be all it takes.
Concentrating on your body, and how your chest rises with each breath can be a great grounding technique to distract your senses in a similar way to PMRT!

Pomodoro Technique
Doing the work on the foundations of your life to prevent stress or anxiety can be one of the most effective strategies.
The pomodoro technique has gained in popularity recently particularly for those who struggle with ADHD. However it can be effective for anyone in improving focus and productivity whilst ensuring you don't get burned out.
By not spreading yourself as thin mentally, you can reduce triggers for stress or feeling negative for not hitting targets.
The pomodoro technique involves taking structured breaks regularly with a timer and is as useful at home as it is in the office.

Grounding your senses
It can be easy to go through some days on auto pilot. Ever forget a section of the journey as you're on the way to work? Our brains like to save energy whenever they can, and as we get used to our surroundings we can become complacent.
This not only happens on journeys, but can also happen in thought processes and how we manage things day to day.
So if you are finding yourself in a situation where perhaps you're feeling a little more tense than normal, or you want to break out of feeling trapped in the same stream you can use grounding to snap out of it.
This can be as simple or as advanced as you need it to be. It can start by just wiggling your toes or become a new ritual similar to yoga or meditation to help day to day.
