Reduce Stress with self-acupressure. With your right palm facing upwards, press your other thumb on the fleshy part at the base of your thumb and massage firmly in a clockwise direction down towards the base of your index and middle finger and back up top the base of the thumb again.

These areas correspond to your chest, solar plexus and adrenal glands and stimulating them in this simple way can reduce stress and encourage deep relaxation. Do it in the office, in a traffic jam, when travelling or simply whenever you feel stressed or know you are going to face a stressful situation.
