- Exercise regularly to release endorphins
- Engage in relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga
- Develop an effective self-care routine, including getting adequate rest and eating a balanced diet
- Identify and reach out to social supports such as friends and family
- Intentionally take time to do activities you enjoy
- Journal or talk out your thoughts
- Take some time to get outside
- Practice grounding techniques, like breathing exercises
- Seek professional help from a licensed therapist when necessary.
