6. Talk About It

There is a reason people go to therapy. Talking about an issue makes it easier to deal with. Whether you are seeking advice or simply want someone to hear you, talking about an issue can be seriously beneficial and can make you feel a million times better.

7. Keep a Journal

I know, I am bad at doing this. But writing down your feeling can help you cope and understand them more. By getting your thoughts on paper they can exist outside of your own mind and that is a refreshing thought. Also, it's pretty fun to look back in a few years. Journals are also great for keeping to-do lists of things you don't want to forget.

8. Give Someone a Hug

Physical contact is a huge stress reliever and very important to maintaining a healthy state of mind. Find someone in your life you trust and get hugs from them. Also nice: back rubs, hand shakes, someone playing with your hair.

9. Pet a Fuzzy

Animals are great! If you are ever upset or stressed I highly recommend petting something fluffy. It releases oxytocin in both pet and human and makes you feel great! Allergic to pets, can't find a cute animal, grab a fluffy blanket or a stuffed animal and pet away.

10. Screw Your Diet, Eat Chocolate

Chocolate is awesome. It releases serotonin and makes you feel great. It comes in a wonderful variety of delicious forms and can be enjoyed for any meal of the day. You are only alive once so do yourself a favor and eat some chocolate, you are worth it!
