Fortunately, there are useful stress-reduction tools with free access via the world's
largest video library, YouTube.
True, you could watch the cute animal snippets, cooking tutorials or slapstick home movies that are routinely posted.
I'd like to suggest that you spend a half hour with Jon Kabat-Zinn as he leads a session on Mindfulness Meditation during a workshop at Google.
Here's the link

Kabat-Zinn defines mindfullness as
"The awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgementally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment.”(2003, pg. 145)
(Kabat-Zinn,, J. Mindfulness-based interventions in context: Past, present, and future
Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice, 10 (2) (2003), pp. 144–156)
I hope you'll let yourself experience this short journey with a pioneer guide.
As a long-time proponent of this approach to life and self-care, JKZ knows what he's doing.
Until next time, take good care.
