9.Meditate
Meditation—whether it involves chanting, breathing, visualization, or all the above—can be an effective stress-management tool for many people. Again, the important thing is that it makes you feel good, and that you can commit to doing it consistently.

10.Reduce caffeine
Coffee has some health benefits, but lowering blood pressure isn’t one of them. Caffeine can cause short-term spikes in blood pressure, even in people without hypertension.

If you have high blood pressure, it’s a good idea to moderate your caffeine intake. You can check whether you’re sensitive to caffeine’s blood-pressure-boosting effects by checking your blood pressure before and within a half hour after consuming your caffeinated beverage. If it increases by 5 or 10 points, you could be caffeine sensitive.
