5 Ways To Destress In Only 10 Minutes

In This Article:

Life itself is very stressful. On top of daily life, you have friends, work, school, family, or pretty much anything that takes time and it seems like there are not enough hours in the day and you are crunching everything in. In times like this, I have found that it's very important to take some time for yourself. Here are some things you could do to get away from the stress and it won't take up too much precious time.

Listen To Your Favorite Song

You are what you listen to

There is no better feeling than hearing your favorite song and singing and dancing along. No matter how stupid you look you WILL feel good and refreshed afterward.

Draw

coloring book

Grab any kind of coloring book you would like or even take out a pen and paper and draw some doodles. You will be so focused on staying in the lines that you won't even think about how stressed you are!

Read A Book

books

Many people don't like reading, but if you find the right book you will get swept away into a whole different world where you won't even remember the world you are in now!

Watch A Vine Compilation

Vines never fail to make you laugh…even if you don't want to you will.

Go For A Walk

Going for a walk will help you clear your head and do not have your face in your phone. There is so much of the world around you to see, so you should go see it.

Every single one of these things will only take you 10 minutes max and they really do help take some stress off your life, allowing you to relax.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.
