I try to keep breathing and in good posture. And frequently go around the house to stretch my legs. I have three playful doggies, so that helps!

After years of serious stress and a couple of bad burnouts, I committed to mindfulness and meditation. Add some exercise, music and a couple of other ingredients… works for me!

I think that what costed me more was letting go of my appreciation of work as means to make money. I try to be careful now and only do things that bring joy into my life. That means choosing my gigs with care.
