Bom Dia! On this day in history, I had to turn in my science fair project that my partner and I had worked on since last year. This project definitely caused her some stress, so I've put together a few hacks and tips for when you are stressed.
1) Sip on green tea. I actually do this almost every night before bed. And it works! The science behind this is that there is a chemical in green tea which soothes nerves.
2) Eat chocolate. This also has a chemical similar to the tea which calms nerves. So now you have a legitimate reason to stress eat!
3) Squeeze, then relax. This method is called progressive relaxation, and it's proven to help you sleep too! Just start with any part of your body. Squeeze it and release. Then, work your way around.
4) Brush your hair. Apparently, repetitive motions help you center yourself.
5) Go outside. You can smell the flowers and fresh air, socialize with friends, or meditate on a walk. Just take a break when you need it.
6) Write. It can be a blog, diary, or even music, but writing will help you feel like you are relieving yourself of burdens.
