"I practice deep breathing exercises and meditation to handle my stress levels. When I know I have a big day ahead of me, I make sure to get up a little early and do a session. This gives me a chance to clear my mind and begin the day on a positive note. When a stressful situation happens, I use my meditation skills to recenter my focus and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes, simply taking a few deep breaths and looking at a situation objectively works great. I also find that it's better to direct my attention to finding solutions rather than dwelling on the problem."
