In our age of haste, lack of rest and excess of information, it is not easy to learn Zen. We are often nervous about trifles. It's time to learn to live differently.

We don't know how to deal with stress. For many, relaxation comes down to alcohol, coffee with a cigarette, or extreme hobbies. Meanwhile, there are simple methods to regain peace of mind in just a few minutes.

We remembered as many as 45 ways.
