4. Dance anyone?
Yes, put the music on your favorite songs and go crazy. Probably better made at home. Sing aloud, dance and do it for yourself. You will have a lot of fun and the stress will melt away.
5. Get Quiet
It is the most effective period for eliminating stress. Learn to meditate. It can be a simple process. Here’s how. Close your eyes and let your body relax. Now breathe in and out. When inhaling, let the air fill your belly, do not force yourself to enter too much air just enough. Then, as soon as you finish breathing, exhale. Let the inspiration and expiration take place slowly and smoothly. Whether it’s continuous, don’t hold your breath. Count your breaths when you reach ten, you’re done.
