5 Simple ways to relieve stress and anxiety

Laugh

Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease. It's hard to feel anxious when you're laughing. It's good for your health, and there are a few ways it may help relieve stress:

Take a Yoga Class

Yoga is so much more than just physical exercise, though. The key to getting the best out of each pose is to focus not only on your body, but also on your mind and breathing. Yoga primarily does this by increasing body and breath awareness.

Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness describes practices that anchor you to the present moment. It can help combat the anxiety-inducing effects of negative thinking  There are several methods for increasing mindfulness, including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, yoga and meditation.

Deep Breathing

Mental stress activates your sympathetic nervous system, signalling your body to go into "fight-or-flight" mode. Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. The brain then sends this message to your body. ... Breathing exercises are a good way to relax, reduce tension, and relieve stress.

Spend Time With Your Pet

Having a pet may help reduce stress and improve your mood. Interacting with pets may help release oxytocin, a brain chemical that promotes a positive mood  Having a pet may also help relieve stress by giving you purpose, keeping you active and providing companionship — all qualities that help reduce anxiety.
