3. Meditate to calm the mind
One of the most recommended ways to relieve stress is meditating. Meditation helps reduce stress by inducing a state of relaxation and calmness, allowing individuals to focus on the present moment and let go of worrying thoughts. It also helps regulate the body’s stress response by lowering cortisol levels and promoting a sense of well-being and inner peace.

7. Sufficient sleep

A healthy sleep routine keeps your brain functioning adequately and keeps your hormones in check. Try going to sleep early so that you can get enough sleep time of 7-8 hours. For better sleep quality, don’t use a blue screen before sleeping. Many studies suggest switching off mobile phones and other blue-screen gadgets before sleeping. If, for some unavoidable reasons, you can’t switch off your phone, you can try putting your phone on silent mode. Also, disable the notifications, this will cut away the unnecessary disturbances.

Try going to sleep at almost the same time daily. Experts suggest to stick to your bedtime routine. It is advantageous because the body becomes accustomed to the sleeping routine. The body will automatically relax in anticipation of sleep. Proper sleep helps relax your body and mind.
