Try these 7 mindfulness practices for reducing stress

Try to spend more time with your fluffy friends. Playing or petting animals reduces stress by releasing the feel-good hormone oxytocin. 

Sit comfortably put your hand on your chest and breathe in and out slowly through your nose. Feel the chest moving up and going down and focus on your breath. 

While It may sound vague, journaling and writing about your thoughts and things you are thankful for can be relaxing and induce a sense of contentment. 

Gently close your eyes and focus on different parts of your body from head to toe. Try to notice different sensations in your body and relax. 

Music is something all humans enjoy. It can induce emotions, relax your mind, and elevate your mood. 

Mindful eating is about experiencing the food and its flavour. Don't stress about the calories, fat, or protiens. Try to take small bites and eat slowly, enjoying the food. 

May sound like a joke, but it's true. Sometimes a good nap is all you need to calm down the mind and help relax all your muscles.
