Here are some stress relieving activities you could try
- Go for a walk (try to clear your mind)
- Call a good friend (for a giggle or vent)
- Take a long bath (add some relaxing bath oils)
- Listen to relaxing music (even whilst working if you can)
- Do yoga (even if its just 15 minutes)
- Play games (card games/board games/on your phone)
- Keep a diary (could be talking about your day or feelings)
- Get a massage (if no one at home can give you one treat yourself!)
- Read a book (choose something you really enjoy or a light hearted, funny, inspirational book)
- Meditate (you can get apps on your phone that help you meditate but be sure to turn it off)
- Try some art therapy (draw something or invest in a art therapy book like this one)
- Have a clear out (clear room = clear mind clear outs always feel great)
- Take a nap (sometimes you just need to sleep it off)

- Have a foot bath (add some Epsom salts to detox your body and boost magnesium levels)
- Use a stress ball (if you have access to a punch bag even better let it out!)

- Rearrange your room (I always like to change up my surrounding from time to time and the process can be calming)
