1. When you wake up in the morning, drink your tea or coffee but twice as much water. Add some lemon to it, it will rehydrate your body even more. This will help your digestive system, clear your skin and make you feel overall healthier and happier.

2. Exercise is one of the best universal ways to relieve stress. We may not realize it could be revolving around some unaddressed factors, such as weight. If you are unhappy with your body, going to the gym even once can make your body feel a change.

3. Try some simple things that you enjoy: listening to music, cooking a meal, going on social media, playing with your pets. The smallest things can bring us the most joy.

4.We may be caught up in our schooling, relationships, and or work but at the end of the day, it's only yourself and there has to be room for you. Stress isn't good for the heart, mind or soul. Have the mindset of "life.". Things happen and they may not go our way but that's ok. Good times come and they go, as well as the hard times.

5. Go out with friends. Put on that dress or that nice shirt that has been sitting in your closet for who knows how long. Look in the mirror and forget the world for one night. Eat fancy food, order one too many appetizers, get dessert even though your stuffed ( but this doesn't mean you can skip ab day).

6. Get rid of all the toxic things in your life. Anything that isn't bringing you happiness, toss it. It might bring someone else happiness.

7. Clean out your closet or de-clutter your house. Or maybe going through and cleaning. Living in a cleaning environment might make you feel you are living a cleaner/ stress-free life.

8. SCREAM!!! Sometimes letting your frustration out by using your voice can help. And it's fast!

9. Surround yourself with animals. (If you aren't allergic). Head over to the animal shelter and pet some pups... or cats.

10. Treat yourself and get a mani-pedi or a massage. Try Groupon, they have a lot of good deals if you are on a budget.
