Everyone gets stressed, whether from upcoming school midterms or the workload from a job. Here are a few things I do to distress myself.

1. Read a book

Books can take you to a different world and out of reality. You are able to leave your troubles for a little while and delve into whatever you like. Luckily, there's no shortage of genre - meaning you'll always find something new to read!

2. Write

Writing is a great way to express how you feel and it provides great relief when you put down on paper whatever you feel or think.

3. Listen to music

Just like reading, music can take you out of your world to another place; whatever genre, artist, or arrangement you listen to, you'll find a sound that you're content with.

4. Meditate

Meditation can not relax your body and mind, it's also good for you. It's proven that it can help your physical and mental health - as long as you don't overdo it.

5. Yoga

Yoga goes hand in hand with meditation, wherein it can relax your body and mind and get you to a calmer state.

6. Go outside

This may be the simplest of the acts you can do. Head outside, bask in the scenery around you. Clear your mind and let nature do the rest.
