What are some relaxation techniques for teens?

I'm feeling really stressed out lately. What are some good relaxation techniques for teens?

There are several effective relaxation techniques for teens! Have you tried deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation?

I haven't tried those. How do I do deep breathing exercises?

Deep breathing is simple! Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold for four, then exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six. Repeat a few times.

That sounds easy! What about mindfulness meditation?

Mindfulness meditation involves focusing on the present moment. You can sit quietly, close your eyes, and pay attention to your breath or the sounds around you. Start with just a few minutes a day.

Thanks! I'll give those a try. Any other tips?

Sure! Regular physical activity, journaling, and spending time in nature can also help reduce stress.
