We've all got that one thing that makes us super stressed. It's important to stay grounded and calm when it happens, and these are a few simple and fun ways to do so.

1. Meditate

Though it may seem counterproductive in the midst of chaos to sit down and do nothing for 10 or 20 minutes, taking a moment to step away from the chaos of the day can really increase your sense of calm. For beginners, meditating on your own may be difficult, so you can download apps like Headspace or Simple Habit that will lead you through a meditation of a length of your choosing. The guides’ voices are really soothing too.

2. Make Lists

Writing a list of all the stuff that you have to do will probably make you feel more on top of it. A lot of times, we think we have more to do because all the tasks are flying through our brains, so writing it down makes the tasks seem more simple and doable. Organization is key to managing a chaotic life, y’all.

3. Do Something Mindless

When feeling stressed, sometimes the best thing that you can do is nothing at all. Mindless tasks like coloring or solving puzzles help take your mind off the things that stress you out. A bonus to doing activities like these is that it means you will not be on your phone so much in your free time, and decreased screen-time throughout the day (and especially before bed) will help you sleep better.

4. Treat Yourself

Do a face mask, shave your legs, do your full skincare routine (exfoliating and moisturizing and everything). Nothing makes you feel like you have your life together more than taking care of your body. Trust me, it works.
