Intuitively, we know how to help others combat stress but can’t help ourselves. So if calling a friend or loved one isn’t in the cards, talking calmly to yourself is the next best thing. Assure yourself that this feeling will pass. Malini Sawhney, a Delhi-based Meditation Expert suggests affirmations as a coping strategy. “I am calm and relaxed. I am in the perfect place for me. I am the divine manifest. Life is good. Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!”
