  • The Scrunches

First you need to breathe in and close your eyes tightly. Purse your lips as tight as you can, bunch up your fists without having to push them downwards then make a face like you are scrunching it to stop yourself from crying. Release the pose when you already need to take a break, that will help relax your whole face.

  • Calm Down

Briskly rub your hand together in order to warm them up, next close your eyes and then cup your warm palms over your eyes. Then take a deep breath using your nose and hold your breath for as long as you can. This is going to relax your eyes and ease your tensed up muscles and emotions.

  • Neck Stretch

The neck stretch will make you look like a zombie dancing in Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video, but then it will help tighten your neck muscles. First you have to tilt your head to the right, touch your ear to your shoulder if you can but you have to do it without raising your shoulder. Next, lift your left hand up, point your fingers towards the floor and push your arm down.
