听力原文:W: I personally, um, do yoga when Im really, really stressed. Sure, yoga helps me to just relax enough so that I can sleep properly during the night and that ... then I get out of that cycle of not sleeping, and you know, not eating properly. That seems to help a little bit with me.M: Well, not sleeping is the first thing that happens to me if Im under stress. And ifs only quite recently that Ive realized that the best thing to do is not try to sleep. Urn, what I tend to do now is I get up and get a cup of tea, camomile tea rather than tea with caffeine or tannin in it. And I put on a video of something thats fairly lightweight and I will sit  But its the same with all stress, really, you have to, as you say, accept that you are stressed and try and breathe deeply and be sensible. Theres no point in worrying
be cause its not going to change anything and you have to try and think that way. Its easy to say that, its easy to give advice, its more difficult to actually do it. But I think Im getting better at it.W: One of the things that when you are stressful is you start breathing very shallow. Youre not taking oxygen down into your body, panicking, you tighten up and youre taking little shallow breaths.M: Heavy breathing.., and deeper breaths. I think thats my sort of solution to my stress.
