1. Take a Break from Everything

Whenever you feel sad, stressed, or extremely tired, do yourself a favor – take a break from literally everything (work, studies, etc.) and give yourself some rest. Overworking would only leave you more exhausted and stressed out. By a break, we do not mean you leave everything and go MIA. In fact, you can do little things like leaving early from work, order some Chinese takeout, put on some soothing music, and just relax!

2. Draw, Doodle, and Color

This step might sound childish and silly, but trust me, it works like a wonder. Drawing and coloring or simply engaging in art & crafts activities can instantly make you feel better and kiss goodbye to all your stress. Just order an adult coloring book and color away all your sadness. If not coloring, you can draw or sketch anything you like. No one will judge you; just draw whatever you want to.

3. Workout

We all know how important exercising and working out is for us, right? Well, a good workout can be very helpful in your blue days. Exercise and workouts are known to release good hormones in your body while vanishing all the negative thoughts, stress, and anxiety. So, if you are feeling under the weather, just get out of your bed and engage yourself in a hardcore workout. Trust me; you will feel better instantly!

4. Go for A Long Walk

I know you don’t feel like getting out of your bed during your sad days, but you have to. You need to spend a calm and relaxing time with no one else but yourself! All you need to do is take a long walk in nature, breathe in the fresh air, and let it relieve all your stress and anxiety. While walking, focus on nature; look at the trees, see the birds flying, and hear the calming sound of the wind.

5. Meditation

Meditation always helps you stay calm, happy, and mindful. And a mindful mind is always a peaceful one. Indulge yourself in meditation – yoga, breathing exercises, etc. Meditation will not only release your stress but will refresh your soul and mind as well.

6. Watch a Funny Movie

Remember a movie that once made you laugh like hell, even years ago? Well, it is time to watch that movie again. Instead of listening to sad songs and thinking about stressful events, open your Netflix account, play that funny movie, and just laugh!

7. Read A Book

Trust me; books take you to a whole new world, a vibe full of imagination and peace. Similarly, they allow you to leave behind all the worries and stress of the real world. With that being said, pick a book that you love, and read the life out of it!
