7 Fun Ways to Relieve Stress

  1. Blow bubbles. Make lots of bubble solution and blow bubbles. You can do this alone or with someone. You will feel like a kid again. Watch the bubbles, note their shape and color. How many can you blow?
  2. Turn on the music and dance in your living room. Pick up your favorite CD and dance like no one is watching. Dancing is a good physical exercise, and it releases endorphins - the feel good chemicals - in your brain.
  3. Pick up a book of jokes at the library and read them out loud. Read them alone or share them with your partner or friends - laughter is contagious.
  4. Finger paint. Get some non-toxic paints and a lot of paper. Connect with that playful kid in you and finger paint. Enjoy the colors, the sensations, and the freedom of playing.
  5. Watch your favorite comedy.
  6. Stand in front of a mirror and make faces at yourself. Funny faces. Laugh. It is a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between real and fake laughter. The benefits are the same.
  7. Create a fun treasure box. Find a shoe box. Decorate it and collect fun pictures and treasures that you have in the house. Items that make you feel good, that put a smile on your face. Put the items in the box and take the box out whenever you feel in need of stress relief.
