Here is a list of ways to be stress-free. Have a glance!

Take Out ‘Me’ time: After long and stressful working hours, take out time for socialising, relaxing, or exercising. Keep aside a couple of nights and take out a quality ‘me’ time for de-stressing. Doing things that inspire you will help you relax. Indulge in activities that will make you feel light and relaxed.


Prioritise What’s Right: The most important thing one has to understand and follow over the time is to prioritise the urgent and leave the not-so-important work for later. Stop burdening yourself unnecessarily and take the right decision. Doing so might not shoo away a lot of stress in one go, but will definitely make you feel calmer.

Learn To Say ‘No’: Sometimes people stress themselves because of a lack of control over their circumstances. Thinking you cannot say ‘No’ makes things worse and leads to stressful situations. Thus, one should know that saying no is not a bad thing when things get out of control.

Unplug Electronics And Do Activities That Soothe Your Mind: In the era of electronics, it is getting difficult for people to part with their devices like laptops, smartphones, computers and tablets. These gadgets have become an unavoidable part of our lives, making it challenging to escape stress. So, cutting the cord and avoiding the notifications is vital. Even for a few minutes, minimising your screen time may help de-stressing. During the time you avoid the use of gadgets, do activities that soothe your mind and help you focus.

Eat healthy and Meditate: Last but not the least, it is important to remember that good food equals good mood. Having a balanced diet is important for mental health. A proper nutritious diet will help repair body cells and protect our brain from being stressed. Walking or any sort of physical activity like meditation will help in alleviating symptoms of anxiety, depression, etc. and will have a calming effect on your nerves.

So, this Independence Day, let’s kick out stress and let ourselves free.
