There are several ways to manage stress that, when practiced, help with overall well-being. Some of them are very easy to follow, for example:

1.- Exercise is one of the best ways to relax, and it also helps control blood glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, and body weight.

2- Foot massage can generate a relaxation process almost immediately.

3.- Soft instrumental music is a good option for the workday, while driving, or at home, as it provides tranquility.

4.- Walking in the countryside, strolling in the park, buying floral arrangements, watering plants, being in contact with nature, listening to the sound of a fountain, the sea, or rain can help us relax.

5.- Deep breathing, using the full capacity of the lungs, with the diaphragm muscles, inhaling and exhaling deeply and rhythmically.

6.- Talking to a good friend can help us lower stress levels. The healing and relaxing power of laughter is wonderful. We can read a joke book or call our funniest friend if we feel stressed.

7.- Contact with loved ones is one of the best ways to relax.

Vividly imagining the positive events we have experienced helps a lot.

8.- Various studies have shown that simply closing your eyes and imagining scenes from nature changes brain waves and helps us relax.

9.- Meditate. This is the path to a healthier and longer life, as we connect with ourselves and become aware of the magnitude of things. We learn to give each thing its due value.
