INSTANT STRESS BUSTERS
Square Breathing
Do each of these exercises to the count of four, says James Dillard, M.D., medical director of Oxford Health Plan's Alternative Medicine Program: Inhale slowly, expanding your abdomen; hold your breath; exhale, releasing your stomach; then relax without breathing.
The Comb Trick
With a comb, make short upward strokes on your right fingertips and hand, first on top, then on the bottom, gradually working up your wrist and then your arm, up to your shoulder, suggests Paul Wilson, author of Instant Calm. Repeat on the other side.
A Neck Massage
Put two tennis balls in a sock and knot the end, says Wilson. Lie on the floor, your feet on a chair or sofa, nestling your neck between the balls. The balls press acupressure points at the base of your skull and massage tight muscles on the sides of your neck.
