Mindfulness - Sometimes life can bring us down. It affects our mood and those around us. Mindfulness is a technique that can help you relieve stress and feel more positive, take control of your life and mood, change the way you respond the challenging situations and feel more confident. This SOTG will teach mindfulness and how you can practice it in your day to day life.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) - Many times, we tend to hold stress in our muscles. This is when we notice our shoulders are nearly touching our ears by the time we leave work. Progressive muscle relaxation allows you to work through the muscles tensing and relaxing as you take deep breaths. This SOTG will guide you through a modified version of this.
