9. Move your body
Regular exercise — even in small amounts — can help you manage stress. You can try formal exercise like yoga, running, or lifting weights. Or try more informal ways to move your body, such as going for a walk or dancing.
10. Get enough sleep at night
Getting 7 to 9 hours of good-quality sleep every night is important for managing stress and preventing other health issues. Having trouble getting to sleep? Remember to practice good sleep hygiene by:
-
Limiting screen time before bed
-
Going to sleep and waking up at the same time each day
-
Keeping your bedroom cool and dark
-
Taking a warm shower or bath before bedtime
