Connect with nature by taking leisurely walks in green spaces. The fresh air and natural surroundings can have a calming effect on your mind, helping to alleviate stress.
2) Deep Breathing
Engage in deep breathing exercises to activate your body's relaxation response. Practice diaphragmatic breathing, inhaling deeply through your nose, holding for a few seconds, and exhaling slowly through your mouth.
3) Reading Time Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)
Release physical tension by systematically tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups. Start from your toes and work your way up to your head, allowing your body to let go of stress.
