1. Read a Book

 

Head to your local library and get yourself a library card, which is free. Many libraries now have lending services for ebooks, too, making it even easier to sneak¹ a few moments of quiet relaxing time. Even if you're not a big reader, you might be surprised by how calming itis to simply sit and get lost in a few pages.

 

2. Go For a Walk 散个小步Anytime you are feeling like you just can't take anymore, head outdoors for a brisk walk. Getting your body moving is a great way to destress and let your brain work through your problems. Or grab a friend and chat away while pounding the pavement.

 

3. Meditate² 来个冥想Find a quiet corner, and tune³ out for five minutes.Set a timer on your phone, and enjoy sitting in silence, download a self-guided meditation⁴ routine.

 

4. Watch the Sunset (or Sunrise) 看场日落（或日出）We spend a lot of time working hard, which means getting outdoors isn't always at the top of the daily must-do list. Onseriously stressful days, make time to watch the sunset — without your phone.Turn it off and sit while taking in the wonders of nature and celebrating theend of your long day.

 

5. Sing a Song 唱个小曲Even if you're not a professional crooner, sing asong. Turn the radio up and sing along to your favorite tune, or hit the townfor some karaoke. And singing gets your blood pumping — due to the deep breaths you take to belt out a tune — which elevates mood.

 

6. Yoga 练套瑜伽You don't have to go to the gym to enjoy a yoga session. A simple Sun Salutation takes a few minutes and can be done just about anywhere. And once you've memorized the routine, you can relax with a bit of yoga anytime.

 

7. Smile 笑一笑Simply smiling causes the brain to behave differently, transforming that stressed-out feeling into happiness. Call afriend who always makes you laugh, watch a silly movie, or just force yourself to smile, which tricks your brain into thinking everything is OK, even when you're feeling totally stressed out.

 

8. Dance 跳个舞Enjoy a dance party in the comfort of your own home,or find the perfect place to get your groove⁵ on. Dancing is fun, and you can doit anywhere. So crank the tunes⁶ and shake your booty. You'll be feeling stress-freein no time.

 

9. Hot Bath 泡个热水澡There's nothing more soothing⁷ than running a hotbath. While you're soaking, let go of the stress of your day. For a really relaxing treat, add several drops of your favorite scented⁸ oil.

 

10. Write About It 随意写写When you're feeling run down, take a few minutes towrite about what's bugging⁹ you. Or start a daily journal and dedicate time every day to writing, which helps calm frazzled nerves. Or get creative and write a short story!
