One method I personally most often use to manage stress is to take a break from the things stressing me out and do something relaxing. For example, If I'm having trouble on a test and am feeling stressed out, I'll take a quick 5-10 minute break to go outside and take a quick walk, play with my dog or cat, etc. However, if your break is just laying in bed and going on your phone, you won't feel nearly as refreshed as you would if you went outside to get some fresh air, or just be mildly active. Hope this helps! :)
I am someone with anxiety, so I will say what I do, I hold my breath for 10 seconds, breath out for five seconds, hold breath for another 5 seconds, then breath in for 5 seconds. You can just start counting, focus on your breathing, do yoga, try to avoid doing stressing things, and read a book or try to rest for a bit
