Relaxing on a beach might not be in the budget, but going there mentally doesn’t cost a penny. Research has found that imagining something relaxing can have a similar effect to experiencing it. Close your eyes and picture your ideal stress-free location—in detail. How does the breeze feel on your skin? How do the waves sound? Any time you feel your stress mounting, take 30 seconds to recall that place.

My mom taught me to do this when I was little - I'm not very good at it though, I get distracted easily and my mind ends up wandering LOL
