Take it day by day, don’t stress too much about tomorrow
Get creative!
Get creative and let your imagination run wild. Nowadays there are a lot of activities for both youth and adults that will help you relax. For example, you can draw or color, paint, create and personalize fashion items, write down your feelings and write a song, create a board game for you and your friends,… etc.
Are you more of a food lover? No problem! Cooking is also a form of being creative and taking your mind off things. Try new recipes or make a delicious cake, the choices are endless. Just be careful and don’t go too crazy.
Enjoy the nature
Exercising is important for everyone, especially during these times when we have to work from home and can no longer have a chat at the coffee machine with our colleagues.
Nature is the most beautiful thing this world has to offer and it is completely free. A lot of people have found peace again by going for a walk, cycling or even while having a picnic with friends in the open air. There is something for everyone!
If you choose to walk, pair the pleasant with the useful and find an animal shelter near your neighbourhood. It is the perfect way to relax, do something good and where you can socialize with new people at the same time. This is also an excellent alternative if you don’t have a pet or if you are a huge animal lover.
Mindfulness and yoga
Do some yoga! It may sound hugely cliché but it really works to put your mind at zero and relax. Find for yourself what exercises really work for you. Nowadays you can even find free workout videos everywhere online.
Release your frustrations
This is a very important one! Don’t shut down the feeling of stress or it can escalate.
The following tip is one I have done myself and does a tremendous amount of virtue. Take a fragile board, and write all your insecurities or frustrations on it.

And last but certainly no least, believe in yourself! I know this may seem very cliché but don’t let stress take over your life, you can do this!
