Tips to Stress Less

2 of 20

Be Playful

Play releases worries, negative emotions, and frustrations. The activity you choose doesn’t matter. The key is to cultivate the right attitude toward anything you do, to immerse yourself in an activity, and to lose yourself in the here and now.

Set aside 15 minutes every day to do something that’s pure fun. Choose an activity that uses your imagination, frees you of any burdens, and fully engages your attention. Consider revisiting activities you enjoyed as a child.
