Easy steps to relax and de-stress:

1. Laugh - at least 10 minutes a day

2. Burn a scented candle - choose lavender, lemon or mango scents

3. Listen to music - slower paced music can lower your heart rate and blood pressure

4. Take a timeout - for 5 minutes just sit and breathe deeply

5. Listen - call a friend and let them vent

6. Distract yourself - play a quick computer game, do a crossword puzzle

7. Walk - exercise will improve your mood, grab a friend which leads to a greater production of endorphins

8. Volunteer - helping others in need will make you feel better

9. Sugarless Gum - chew sugarless to lower levels of cortisol (a stress hormone)

10. Loosen up - Wear comfortable and proper fitting clothes. Tight jeans are out
