1. Yoga

• Why it works: Yoga combines physical movement, breath control, and mindfulness. It helps reduce anxiety, lower stress hormones, and promote relaxation.
• How to do it: Start with simple poses like Child’s Pose, Downward Dog, or Mountain Pose. Focus on deep, rhythmic breathing.

2. Walking or Running

• Why it works: Cardiovascular exercises like walking or running release endorphins, also known as “feel-good” hormones, which can reduce stress.
• How to do it: A brisk 20-30 minute walk or run in nature or a park can provide a mental break and clarity.

3. Strength Training

• Why it works: Lifting weights or bodyweight exercises help focus your mind and release tension from your body. It also boosts self-esteem and builds resilience.
• How to do it: Simple exercises like squats, lunges, or push-ups can be performed at home or in a gym.

4. Dancing

• Why it works: Dancing allows you to move freely, releasing pent-up energy and tension. It’s a fun and creative way to improve mood and relieve stress.
• How to do it: Put on your favorite music and dance like no one’s watching, or join a dance class for structured routines.
