You can relieve your stress simply by stopping everything you do and sitting quietly – doing your best not to think of anything and try to clear your mind by not making any attachment or interrogation of your passing thoughts – let them all float you by.

Looking at beautiful images of nature can help or listening to soft, calming music.

To meditate and become mindful – simply watch the flame of a candle or focus on your breath rising and falling.

Witnessing what’s happening in the now and avoiding the drama of life and the things you sometimes negatively think or even feel will help you find equilibrium and inner peace.

It’s all drama – keep away from the drama created by others and keep your own in check.

When your mind is not attached to the behaviour or actions of others, it finds peace – your mind is an obedient child – tell it how to find peace and it will find it.
