10 Easy Things You Can Do Right Now To De-Stress And Relax

Preview

1. Breathe consciously

After ten deep breaths, the world might look very different.

2. Shift attention to one part of the body

This can be a very easy introduction to meditation. In autogenic training, for example, you start by concentrating on your right arm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogenic_training

3. Laugh hard

Watch comedy until you pee your pants laughing or remember a good joke.

4. Exert yourself in training

It's best if you break a sweat doing it.

5. Switch off all media and go for a walk outside

6. Spend some time with your pet

Your cat doesn't care about your important issues. Maybe that will help put them into perspective.

7. Do some work in the garden

If you don't have a garden, clean your aquarium. If you don't have an aquarium either, take care of your houseplants. If you have none of those things, reconsider your priorities.
