Meditate-regular meditation can help you relax and relieve stress. Set your phone on a ten minute timer. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and release any tension you are holding onto. Practicing a few times a week can really help calm your nerves.
Take a nap- just a ten minute nap does wonders.

Exercise–Get Moving! Physical activity is a very essential component of a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise can totally help improve your mood, reduce stress, and strengthen your body. Find a form of exercise that you enjoy doing and don’t dread, whether it’s dancing, yoga, or just walking around your block. Make it a regular part of your routine for success.
