1. Working Out

Working out is a great stress reliever. Not only does it make you look good, it makes you start feeling good. It's a great way to get your mind off of things and focus on yourself for a change.

2. Shopping

Shopping relieves stress. it's a little thing called "retail therapy". Who doesn't want new clothes?! It's a great way to spend a little time on you.

3. Setting and Achieving Goals

When you set goals for yourself, it is important that they motivate you. Choose goals that make you a better verson of you. Stick to them and achieve them.

4. Healthy Foods

Love yourself enough to live a healthy lifestyle. Eating healthy makes you happier. By being happy it turns a lot of negatives into postives.

5. Being Yourself

Learn that being yourself is the best version of you. Your opinion is the only one that matters.
