When stress hits, your body tightens\u2014shoulders tense up, jaw clenches, neck stiffens. The fix? A good stretch. Raise your arms overhead, roll your shoulders back, twist your spine gently while seated, or touch your toes. Just five minutes of light stretching gets your blood flowing, releases physical tension, and sends a signal to your brain: \u201cHey, we\u2019re safe, let\u2019s relax.\u201d You don\u2019t need yoga-level flexibility. You\u2019re not trying to impress anyone, just loosening up. Do it in your chair, by your desk, even mid-conversation if you need to. Instant physical and mental relief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
