Indian yoga guru and relaxation expert Deepak Yadav from La Clairi\u00e8re Bio & Spa Hotel in Alsace gives five helpful SOS tips for stressed managers.<\/p>\n

Give yourself breaks!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you take small breaks during work and recharge your batteries a bit, you'll usually get more done than if you work through it all the time. Basically, two active mini-breaks are particularly recommended. Use them for a small meditation session: open the window, stand upright and close your eyes. Listen to the sounds wafting in from outside. Take a deep breath in with your arms above your head and lower them as you exhale. Repeat this exercise three times: you will see, you already feel much more rested.<\/p>\n

Green tea<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone who feels stressed should keep their hands off coffee. Contrary to the assumption that coffee strengthens the nerves, it mainly causes heart palpitations in tense people. If you're looking for inner peace, it's best to turn to green tea. Instead of caffeine, it contains theanine - a substance with calming properties.<\/p>\n

Hand massage<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don't need a professional to give you a hand massage with a calming effect: simply provide yourself with some relaxation. To do this, stroke the thumb of your other hand over the palm with gentle pressure, starting with the muscle of the ball of the thumb. Take about three to four minutes per hand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cold water <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hard to believe, but really true: Cold water helps against stress. Because on the inside of the wrist as well as behind the ears are important arteries that have an impact on the overall well-being. If you drip some cold water on these areas, you will immediately experience a calming effect.<\/p>\n

Do sports<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those who find enough time should opt for a little exercise. It's the panacea for numerous aches and pains - especially stress and inner tension. Sometimes even a walk through the neighborhood helps. Even better - if it's possible - are small, ten-minute yoga sessions outdoors, because they bring the pulse back down and ensure a clear head. Here are a few simple exercises by yoga expert Deepak Yadav for in-between sessions that even stressed-out managers can do:<\/p>\n
