Stand tall, hum and try a dead hang: 22 two-minute tension relievers

Feeling a little… tense? From the top of your head down to the soles of your feet, here are lots of quick ways to soothe stress

Restore a feeling of calm by scrunching your shoulders up to your ears as tightly as possible, holding for 10 seconds, then inhaling. Exhale as you release the tension in your shoulders.
