When you just feel like banging your head against the wall, don’t do it. There are other ways to relieve that “I-have-so-much-to-do-with-so-little-time” feeling. Here are some ways to relieve stress in a few seconds.

• 30 second dance party- With or without music, stand up and start dancing for 30 seconds.

• Deep breathing- Take a couple seconds to stop, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and exhale. When you open your eyes, you should feel relaxed.

• Pet your pet- If you have a furry friend, petting them can release stress because feeling the softness of your pet’s hair can release endorphins (natural stress relievers).

• Do one thing at a time- Multi-tasking will only make you lose focus because you are trying to do more than one thing at the same time, confusing your brain.
