Move Around
One of the most effective ways to manage stress in your everyday life is to exercise. Even light amounts of movement can generate endorphins, certain types of hormones, that are known to relieve pain and a sense of well-being.
Get outside
Get back to your roots and head outside! Its been shown that spending time outside in nature, and especially in the sun, helps with all aspects of mental health, including attention, mood, relieving stress, and more.
Connect with others
Spending time connecting with other people is extremely effective in reducing stress. Socialization has been shown to increase confidence and help with stress management. In addition, finding a supportive community can help provide a feeling of belonging and can be a place to reach out in a time of need.
Reading
Reading has countless benefits for the human brain, including but not limited to: increased vocabulary, increased senses of empathy, and a reduction of depression symptoms. Even so, reading is one of the best ways to escape what can sometimes be an overwhelming world.
