Some of the ways to lower stress include:
- regular exercise (this releases endorphins – the feel-good hormones)
- look after your diet and sleep
- don’t drink too much alcohol or have too much caffeine
- talk through your worries with people you trust, or write them down
- limit how much you look at the news and social media
- chat to friends and the people that make you feel good
- find ways to relax, such as mindfulness, meditation or breathing exercises
- do activities that you enjoy
