Hey guys, I was wondering what are some of the simple things everybody does when feeling stressed out and overwhelmed, to recharge and relax?

Some of the things I enjoy doing to release stress and relax are:

– Drinking hot tea* in the shower.
(Ideally any kind of black tea which is proven to lower levels of cortisol in the brain which is directly linked to high-levels of stress)

– Sitting and breathing mediation

– Reading a good book

– Writing poetry/journaling

– Any kind of creative activity, using my hands (ex: crocheting, sewing, etc.)

– Going for walks in the woods/nature

Please share any of the little daily things you do to help manage stress and keep peace in yourself and your life. There are always so many things at our disposable that can help us feel okay and achieve peace.. however, when we fall into negative-thinking patterns and find ourselves overwhelmed it easy to become blinded and unable to recognize that we have options.
