Pampering / Taking care of ourself

^{I either follow a simple beauty routine or try a new makeup product just to dedicate few moments to myself.}

Sometimes we're so occupied and exhausted by our daily routine and chores that we're physically and emotionally stressed out. In that case it's best to take some time out for ourselves and pamper ourselves. It not only helps us relax and get rid of the stress but also makes us feel happy and confident too. It can include a relaxing facial, getting a nice manicure or pedicure or even a trip to the spa.

Being close to nature when stressed out not only reduces the negative feelings and calms the stress but also is very beneficial for the physical health. It reduces the blood pressure, muscle tension and hence the stress hormones.

Walk or Exercise

^{Aerobics, yoga, a simple cardio and even a brisk walk keeps me physically and emotionally fit}

Walking, exercise or any kind of physical movement that we love to do increases our fitness and decreases the level of stress. When we are doing some physical activity our body releases the brain chemicals endorphins which are also known as the happy hormones that results in our body relaxation and improves our mood.
