7.Take a Walk
Exercise is a great way to ease stress. It helps your body produce endorphins — the neurotransmitters in your brain that make you feel good. It also forces you to focus, helping you forget what’s making you anxious. Exercising in warm, sunny weather can boost your mood. And if you walk briskly for at least 30 minutes, you’ll meet daily exercise recommendations, and ramp up stress-busting benefits even more.
8.Take a Deep Breath
Aromatherapy isn’t just for spas. No matter where you are, taking a deep whiff of lavender or rosemary may put you into a more relaxed state. Inhaling those aromas may lower your levels of the stress hormone cortisol. But just the act of breathing deeply is also a stress buster. Deep breathing sends oxygen surging through your bloodstream, helping to calm your entire body.
