A vacation will help you lead a stress-free life for few days, wherein you get a chance to forget your worries and live calmly. If you can’t go on long vacations, take mini-trips, go out over a weekend or at least take a one-day trip.

5. Go outside: Staying indoors will only increase your anxiety and stress level. When you are stressed, go outside, let the sun shower its sunshine over you. Vitamin D will help balance your blood pressure. Walk on the grass in the morning and reconnect yourself with earth and you will definitely feel relaxed.

6. Play games: To relieve and destress yourself, go for games that you enjoy. Try to play some brain games such as crosswords and Sudoku. If you want something that requires you to be more social, then opt for some board games. And, in case, you are a person who does not hesitate from taking up games that include physical activity then it would be more beneficial for you.

7. Dance and listen to good music: Music and dance are not only stress relievers, they are also good to rejuvenate your mood and make you feel happy. Dancing is a great exercise and when you do it in a fun way, you can simply relieve your tension and feel better. It is not necessary that you should go out and party; if you don’t want to, then just dance in your room, but dance as if no one is watching. Listen to your favorite music, one that soothes your pain and makes your mood better. 

8. Read! Read! Read!: Books will always be your best friends. No matter what’s your age, gender or identity, you can find books that will match your taste and choice.

9. Talk to friends and family: When stress takes a toll, it is always suggested that you should head to your people. Those people whom you can trust and rely on and are sure of that they would listen to you and your problems. Therefore, whenever you are stressed, don’t keep things to yourself, rather share your thoughts, views and feelings with your family and friends. Trust your instincts and talk it out to people who will offer you their helping hand and give you emotional and mental support.
