3.Clean the Clutter
Being surrounded by too much stuff can be overwhelming and contribute to stress. It brings on anxiety when you can’t find your checkbook, your child’s homework, or the utility bill. So de-clutter to de-stress. Tackle a drawer, a shelf, or a tabletop one at a time. An uncluttered space can feel satisfying and restorative. As an added plus, spring cleaning is good exercise, burning more than 250 calories an hour.
4.Mow the Lawn
Cutting the lawn might sound like work, but the smell of freshly mown grass actually can make you feel more relaxed. Scientists say chemicals from newly cut grass may help block the release of stress hormones in the brain. Just remember to wear earplugs to drown out the mower, because too much loud noise can send your stress rate soaring again.
