3 Free, Easy and Effective Activities to Fight Stress

     I am enjoying my now more-than-a-month staycation. I am simply happy, yes. But one fateful afternoon, I received a mobile message from my sister-in-law about the problem she and my older brother were experiencing in their marriage. That, I have to admit, stressed me out. Immediately, my body craved to move and my muscles would like to be flexed. Cool! I later find out that my body whispered to me things I could do to shake the stress off my system. Sharing to you, here are Three Effective Activities I immediately did to fight my stress that day:

1.)    To fight stress,  Exercise – Hit the gym! On second thought, you don’t have to do so especially if you don’t have the luxury of time or money. A simple five-minute rotation exercises and stretching will do. In my case, I have purchased cool videos so that I can do the exercise at the comfort of my house anytime I would want and love to do so. Sweating off feels so good and I feel some kind of youthful glow right after I exercised. Not to mention that there is this illusion that I somehow feel my skin is radiating. For a moment, I feel like my skin is flawlessly unblemished.

2.)    To fight stress, Play Games – Any game will actually do as long as you enjoy it! You choose: video game, mobile game, computer games. Make sure however that it is only for leisure. Like do it for five, ten or fifteen minutes only. Otherwise, addiction will be another problem and it will be another stress. Make sure that your mind is still in control.
