HOW TO DECIDE

1 Identify your trigger

Start by assessing what sets off your stress. Perhaps it’s noisy neighbours, a stench in the air or anxiety brought on by work – or maybe you just need to switch off from the real world.

3 Take a deep breath

Breathing exercises are probably the easiest way to balance mind, body and soul. Soothing sounds, good-quality audio and meditation tools can really help here.
