Breathing and Mindfulness for example 
A larger volume of air in the lungs delivers extra oxygen to your body and brain, which increases the release of feel-good chemicals called endorphins and lowers levels of epinephrine, a stress hormone.
When your day is loaded with tasks, fear, pressure, you need to try to center your mind and become more anchored in the present moment. Above of all mindfulness techniques can help you do just that.
