I've done box-breathing before presentations for work/school, but wonder what other methods are out there to clear your mind and relax.

I don’t know if it counts as meditation. But when I’m stressed I find a quiet place, close my eyes, and just monitor my body.
I try to listen to my heart beat, the tiny aches in my muscles that I tend to ignore, even the movements of my intestines. I find it calming to just retreat into the vast complex that is my body.
