9. Watch a funny movie or show

10. Practice gratitude
Practicing gratitude helps you stay grounded and look at the bright side of things. When you practicing gratitude you are telling yourself “hey, I know I had a bad day, but I am grateful for this..”. It turns everything around for you because you are focusing on the positive side of things, instead of putting so much emphasize on the wrong or bad things that happened in your day. Practice gratitude everyday and it’s going to help you feel less overwhelmed, less stressed and more happy!
