  1. Go For a Brisk Walk

Just going for a 30 minute walk every day can do wonders to help you relax, not only that it will improve your mood as well as prevent or manage many various conditions including heart disease and high blood pressure. Don’t forget to stay hydrated though with plenty of water! 

  1. Take A Long Bath

Soaking in hot water is more powerful than you might think. In fact, there are quite a few definite health benefits to be gained. Hot water relaxes the body and better prepares us for falling asleep, and it can help reduce headaches! So get that bath bomb out and light those candles!

  1. Make Healthy Dietary Choices

Eating well can help your body feel balanced and healthy, making you less susceptible to spikes in blood sugar and feelings of anxiety. ...So, for example, instead of turning purple with rage, get green with a cup of herbal tea. Green tea is a source of L-Theanine, a chemical that helps relieve anger! Or replace stress with sweetness and try a spoonful of honey. Honey provides compounds that reduce inflammation in the brain, meaning it helps fight stress!

  1. Have A Spa Day

There’s more to visiting a spa than just relaxation. From softer skin to better health, and with a serene atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, spending an afternoon at a health spa will certainly have you coming out relaxed and rejuvenated! 

  1. Close Your Eyes

It sounds simple-and it is. Just closing your eyes for a few minutes and taking a quick break from a busy office or a chaotic household is an easy way to regain calm and focus.
