\ "When you repeatedly experience stress, your nervous system is still tense. Even small levels of stress can make you feel overwhelmed, \" said Dr. Henry Emmons, who is also the author of The Chemistry of Calm.
Emmons explained, there are 7 (seven) stage to make a person more calm when faced with stress, as described below:

Find a quiet place to sit and make the mind relax. Then, take a deep breath in through the diaphragm, and exhale slowly through your mouth.
