Let's face it: We all experience moments of high stress. While we can't avoid stress altogether, stress-relieving strategies can reduce the burden put on our body and mind. One action you can take to reduce stress is giving yourself a butterfly hug. Begin by taking a few deep breaths, knowing you are pausing to feel better. Use your arms to cross over your chest, making sure the tip of each middle finger is touching right below your collarbone. While in this position, close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Then, tap on your chest with each hand, visualizing a butterfly flapping its wings on your chest. Find a rhythm in your breath and continue to tap on your chest.
