Try aromatherapy solutions

Aromatherapy has proven benefits in the realm of calming and the use of particular essential oils can help to bring about a state of calmness after a period of stress and agitation. This field is quite complex and it's a good idea to read through a good aromatherapy reference if you're keen to find ways to induce calmness through aromatherapy.

Calm down when it matters

If you're having a conflict with someone or you struggle to stay calm in the moment, you'll need to work on being a little more chill or at least find healthy ways to immediately release the feelings that you have. Being more communicative and good about telling people how you feel when you feel that way is a great start. If you can't do that or it's not appropriate, try singing yourself a song in your head.

Stay away from drama

Drama with the people in our lives is another source of serious stress. Make sure to keep drama-causers out of your life. You should also work hard to not cause drama. Work on communicating clearly and be patient with people. Give people the benefit of the doubt. And when people cause one too many dramatic situations with you, just make sure their in your life as little as possible.

Checking your email

One way a lot of people lose a lot of time during the day is to checking their email. Have specific email times, just two or three times a day, and do not check your email in between.

Stop procrastinating

Procrastination is one of the biggest sources of stress in our lives. If you can learn to just get things done early or at least on time, you'll find yourself a lot more calm. This, of course, means focusing when things are supposed to be getting done and save distractions for later!
