cover the physical basics - stuff my mum said - food, sleep, water, toxin intake, also touch. Need to have a minimum in in all of these - you can't cheat your basic biological system

• social support and empathy
• centre
• reframe your thoughts - realistic optimism, avoid resentment and victim thinking. It's ourt thinking about events not the events themselves that creates stress
• acceptance - illusion of control and this is stressful
• play and recreation
• exercise - relaxed like tai chi or yoga, or fast like squash or running to burn off some energy
• Meditate - evidence base -it works better than drugs
• manage environment - order and beauty, nature helps
• gratitude
• humour

This video includes the "embodied" approach.

The embodied work practiced by Mark Walsh and Integration Training is based upon a number of disciplines such as aikido, meditation, body therapy and dance.

It is strongly influenced by teachers such as Dr Richard Strozzi-Heckler and the Strozzi Institute (http://www.strozziinstitute.com/), Paul Linden (http://www.being-in-movement.com/), Wendy Palmer (http://embodimentinternational.com/) and Dylan Newcomb (http://www.uzazu.org/). These people are all masters in the field.
