The American Psychological Association suggests meditation, exercise, social assistance, laughter therapy, and avoidance of stressors to be effective stress management techniques to alleviate stress for short-term and long-term benefits.

Stress affects all of us and is a normal physical reaction of events, but long-term stress can affect one's health, work, and relationships. Hence, stress management is needed to recognise stressors and effectively deal with them in a positive manner.

It is proven that regular yoga practice can help in relieving blood pressure and heart rate, which ultimately reduces stress. Pranayam and meditation help to quieten the mind bringing in peace and tranquillity within oneself.

Stress management techniques help in the release of endorphins and other relaxation hormones which bring peace to the mind. This helps one to improve focus and concentration and motivates the individual to perform better in personal and professional life.

Hypnotherapy is known to be an effective tool for relieving stress. During a guided hypnosis session, a person goes into a deep relaxation state where the mind becomes more adaptive to change, which reduces stress.
