When a person experiences stress, their well-being and mood worsen. Stress is a real "joy eater".

But it can be combated with effective anti-stress methods.

For example, chocolate can help relieve stress in 5 minutes, since it increases the level of serotonin and endorphins, which remove mental sadness and physical pain, and enkephalins are natural sources of joy.

You can also close your eyes and remember in detail a joyful event, and you will see how your mood improves.

Sometimes, to lift your mood, it’s enough to simply open the window and breathe some fresh air.

Any good, even insignificant, deed can lift your mood many times over, so don't neglect this advice. Favorite music is a great way to relax and relieve stress, and reading a book has a similar effect.

Filling the room with your favorite scent can relieve stress. Water can significantly improve your mood, whether it's taking a shower or visiting a swimming pool.

If you have about 30 minutes, you can deal with stress by cleaning, emptying a few drawers and wiping off dust can even help relieve depression. Another way to relieve stress is anticipation.

For example, you can plan a weekend trip, book a vacation package, or order some nice thing or cosmetics online.

Taking care of plants also helps to lift your mood, and besides, you are doing something useful.

Cooking something delicious is a great way to relieve stress, as it includes two things at once: anticipation and pleasure, which simply cannot help but lift a person’s spirits.

And if you do this with friends or a loved one, the effect will be amazing.

Which method to choose depends on the situation, but each of them works and is good in its own way.
