6 scientifically backed ways to de-stress & recharge

Take a 10-minute walk. Getting some fresh air and moving your legs can boost endorphins and clear the busy mind.
Breathe deeply. Taking a few deep breaths every hour can signal your body to relax and reduce tension.
Eat a healthy snack. If you’re hungry or malnourished, your brain will feel it. Focus on eating slowly and chewing your food with special attention to taste, texture, and how it makes you feel.
Hang out with plants. Researchers at Washington State found that a group of people who walked into a room with plants felt two times calmer than a group who walked into a plantless room.
Chew some gum. It’ll relieve anxiety, improve alertness, and keep your breath smelling great.
Practice a repetitive action. Repeated actions like sewing, crocheting, or repeated movements can soothe anxiety and act as a meditative practice in times of stress.
