When you are feeling too stressed out already, take a fifteen to twenty minute break. Look for a spot where you can not be disturbed. This can be the garden near the office. This can be the bathroom cubicle. Be creative. Look around the office and find out a place where you can actually be peaceful for a few minutes. When you have found that place, try to get into a comfortable position.

There are a lot of comfortable positions to choose from. You can lie down. You can sit down. You can slouch somewhere. As long as you are comfortable then you are doing well already. Once you have found that position, try to relax your body. Techniques in relaxing your body are simple. All you have to do is imagine that your muscles are slowly being massaged and that all the tension is being relieved gradually. Start from the toes and then work your way up to the head. If you are having trouble then you may want to put your hands on your lap and concentrate for awhile. Focus is a key to hypnotizing yourself properly.

Once you have calmed your body, your next step is to calm your mind. How do you calm your mind? Relaxing your mind is as easy as one, two, and three. First, you'll have to forget about all the worries that are bothering you at the moment. Forget about the paper that is due in a few hours. Forget about your boss that is unreasonable. Don't even think about your personal problems either.

Second, you'll have to focus your mind. You'll have to concentrate on thinking about happy thoughts, inspiring moments, or peaceful environments.

Third, you'll have to go into the details. You have to imagine things exactly as they are. If you are thinking about making that soccer goal, you'll have to think about every little detail. You have to think of the way the ball will hit your feet. You have to think of the trajectory of the ball to the goal. You'll have to think of the smell of the grass on that field. You'll have to imagine the sound of the crowd when you make a goal. From there, you simply hypnotize yourself.
