3. Use pet therapy
Cuddles with a dog may help to lower blood pressure and manage difficult times. Spending regular quality time with your pet is an easy and meaningful way to help relieve stress. Take your pet for a walk, snuggle on the couch or play in the backyard.
4. Set realistic goals
When you set your expectations too high, you may experience stress and disappointment if you don’t reach them. Instead, set goals that are realistic and push you but not to the point of burning out.
