Stretch your neck

Tilt the head forward and hold for 10 seconds. Raise it back to the center.
Roll the head to one side and hold for 10 seconds. Bring it back to the center and repeat on the opposite side.
Shrug the shoulders so that they almost touch the ears. Hold for a few seconds, then relax. Repeat this 5 times.

Relieving Muscle Tension

Bring awareness to the breath. If hyperventilating, try exhaling (like blowing out a candle) to slow things down.
Next, place a hand on your belly and relax the shoulders. Breathe into the belly, fully inflating the lungs with air. Notice the hand rising as your belly expands.
Exhale fully, allowing your belly to relax again. Notice the hand moving inward.
Keep breathing this way, feeling the hand rising and falling with each breath.
If helpful, make a soft “sss” sound while exhaling.
