“What are some relaxation techniques or coping mechanisms that can help me?”

One of the most basic techniques for dealing with stress or anxiety (i.e., common triggers that might require the use of a relaxation technique) is simply to stop and take a deep breath, then refocus. Taking a deep breath is a great in-the-moment intervention that does not take a lot of time. The various mindfulness practices (i.e., labeling, body scan, walking meditation to name a few) are great for developing a calm, peaceful inner state as an alternative when triggered.
