Let's face it-we all have to deal with stress, on at least one level or another. Here's a couple simple ways you can relieve some of that stress after something hard or just a really tough day at school. You'll be feeling the smiles in no time!
Exercise or take a nature walk. For me at least, exercising in one form or another is a way to decrease my stress level and help me calm down. Plus, my added energy just helps me work harder physically. Exercising in the outdoors, just seeing nature and trees and flowers, reminds me more of God and less of about my current problem/s.
Write. Okay, I realize I'm a crazy writer, and when I'm stressed out, writing's my thing. (Well, anytime in life, writing is my thing. When I'm stressed, bored, upset, happy, excited, nervous-any mood you can think of I'm in, my thing is to write. XD) But honestly, writing your feelings down at least, can be helpful. Its a way to "let it out" instead of holding it in-and plus, you wont be letting out steam at the wrong person because you're upset!
Pray and just talk to God. Just talking to God about what's going on, and what you're worried or stressed over helps a ton. Knowing God cares is in itself a big thing that should make you feel better.
Listen to music. Music is my #1 go getter when I'm worried, stressed or just having a bad day. It instantly makes me feel better, if its the type of music I like. So out pull out your headphones and tune in with that favorite playlist of yours!
Do something you enjoy and that calms you down. Working on a hobby or activity you like will surely put your in a happier mood and if you're pretty upset, help calm you down.
Talk with a close friend about what may be bothering you or just spend time with them. Being with people you love will surely make you feel better. And it will instantly make your day brighter!
Hope a hard day can be brightened a little by doing some of these stress relieving activities! Love ya girlies, thanks so much for reading! Don't forget to leave a comment on what you do to fight stress or what you'll do to chill after a bad day.

When I'm stressed or angry, I either go to God, my music, or just stay in my room and try to calm down by watching a favorite show or something. I'll also read a book or even write something to get my mind off of it. Depends really xD
