Start off with stretching the neck area. Upper trap, levator scap, and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) stretches are a great way to help relieve stress and tension.
Isometric exercises are also great to relieve stress and tension by activating the muscles but not making big movements that might be painful. Cervical side bending and rotation are great ways to help relax the neck muscles.
Thank you
Finally, diaphragmatic or belly breathing can help the whole body relax and reduce stress.

@diarrareedHelpful stretches but I would have enjoyed the full benefit if I didn't have to pause the video all the time. It's better for stress relief if there is no stress lol. You should have done the stretches along with us and avoid those interruptions.
