Stress

Stress can also be very unhealthy. Here are some ways to get unstressed!

1. Breathe. -  Something as simple as taking a deep breath when the world seems like it is coming down can help so much! Remember, not only is stress coming from your mind but your unconscious. Breathing allows oxygen to just flow through and calm you down completely.

2. Take a bath. - Do something relaxing. Allow your mind to rest from such a long day.

3. Plan your day out more effectively. - Plan. Plan. Plan. If you feel organized, you feel in control!

4. Plan a day to rest. - Every one needs a break sometimes, you're not a machine and that is ok!
