  1. Take 5 minutes and breath deeply
    Lock yourself in the bathroom or where every possible . Close your eyes and slowly breathe in for 5 times Then slowly breathe out 5 times. Do this 5 times It helps!

  2. Put your favorite music on
    Music always makes things more fun as you do chores or soothing peaceful music when you’re relaxing, music is great.

  3. Laugh
    Find something to laugh about pick out a comedy to watch one evening or find a funny video or joke on youtube. It’s true that laughter is good medicine.

  4. Think about the positive
    This is one of my favorite ways to destress because it brings a little perspective. When you look at everything that’s gone wrong in a day, it’s easy to be hard on yourself and feel like you’re not doing a good job. If you start thinking like that, stop yourself. Instead, try to think about everything good that did happen! Even on tough days, you can always find a little bit of sunshine if you look hard enough.

  5. Dance stress away
    spontaneous dance session with your kids is a great tension reliever to any type of music of your liking

  6. Discard and organize
    Clutter and disorganization
    Get rid of the junk you no longer need and start organizing the stuff you have so that you know exactly where everything is when you need it. i love this on it always helps me destress

  7. Soak The Day Away in a relaxing and Detoxifying bath
    cups epsom salts
    2 cups baking soda
    5-10 drops your favorite essential oil
