Admit it! Being surrounded by green plants or brightly coloured flowers instantly calms you down. If you haven’t noticed it till now, then bring home indoor plants and deck up your room with fresh carnations or lilies, and you will feel the tranquillity after a tiring day at work.
T- Take a break

It is a human tendency to work hard and forget about taking breaks. Start with taking breaks from all that is stressing you out. Plan trips, pamper yourself by getting a bunch of flowers or chocolates or go to that cafe you added to your list. You will definitely feel happier.
R- Relieve & feel free

Your diet makes you a healthier and calmer person. Get up early, go for a walk, prepare your food with hand-picked vegetables from the market and take care of your health. You must go out for a 30 mins brisk walk as it will release the stress hormones and instantly lighten up your mood.
S- Spend time with family
