Sweat out your stress with a high intensity workout. Or do the opposite: completely wind down in a tai chi class.
Spend time with someone who makes you laugh.
Grab some pencils and a colouring book. While you’re colouring in, you are slowing your thoughts and using your creativity.
Dance around the house to your favourite music.
Head outside for fresh air and a close encounter with the natural environment.
Turning off your screens and devices can help you switch off your thinking. On the flip side, watching a funny movie or talking to someone on Facetime can help you feel better too.
Eat a banana or a potato. These foods have potassium, which can improve your body’s energy and recovery.
Find a repetitive activity, such as knitting, wood carving or making jewellery. The simple act of repeating a skill with your hands can relieve stress.
