In today’s fast paced-world, it is far too easy to become overextended and overstressed. Here are some simple ways even a stress ball like me can lighten up.
- Relax. Take off your shoes, and walk in the grass. Take a deep breath, and stretch. Sip on a glass of wine.
- Play a game. Whether it’s a game of Cards Against Humanity, Trivial Pursuit, or Pinochle, invite some friends over and have some fun.
- Do something that takes your breath away. Cross something off your bucket list.
- Create something. Paint a picture, make a piece of jewelry, or knit a scarf. I recently bought some coloring books that have taken me back to my childhood roots.
- Explore. Take your bike on a new excursion, or hike a trail you’ve never taken before.
- Be silly. Do something out of character, or play a harmless joke on a friend or a family member.
- Take a picture. Try a new perspective.
- Laugh. Pick a movie that will make you laugh and enjoy it with family, friend, or by yourself.
- Play with your kids. Get down to their level and act like a carefree kid again.
