Deep breathing: Start by finding a quiet space and sitting comfortably. Deeply inhale for five seconds, hold your breath for two seconds, then exhale for seven seconds. Continue this cycle and focus your attention on your breath only. You can repeat this cycle several times until you feel more relaxed. 

Meditation: There are multiple kinds of meditation but the main idea is to relax your mind and body through intentional concentration and awareness of thought processes, sensations or emotions. Popular methods include guided mediation, mindfulness meditation or body scans. Before starting anmeditate session focus on a subject (easy task) like focusing on the physical sensations/feelings of the present moment – such as hearing sounds or feeling physical sensations or even thinking about something pleasant such as nature – then bring in more complex tasks later one - progress slowly

Meditation and deep breathing are both fantastic strategies for reducing stress levels. Firstly, for meditation, find a simple mindfulness practice that you enjoy such as body scan, mindful breathing or heart focus meditation. When you feel overwhelmed, take some deep breaths and focus on the present moment rather than worrying about the future. Furthermore, regular physical activity like walking and yoga can also help reduce stress levels so ensure to stay active and healthy!
