So, you have a plan to make your life less stressful. It may be time to schedule an appointment with a professional to start dealing with your anxiety. However if you need to reduce your stress right now, but you don’t know how, here's a few tips to start using right now.
1. Light Some Candles

Candles, especially the scented kind, are great stress reducers. Finding a good candle can be fun too. Go to a store with scented candles and sniff a bunch of them! After the sun goes down and you need to unwind, turn off all the bulbs and light some scented candles. This will immediately put your mind into a more relaxed space.

2. Listen To Music![]()
Songs drive our emotions. They can take us back in time, calm us down, and amp us up. Use songs to your advantage and find some that help you relax.
3. Laugh a Lot More![]()
Making jokes can also be a great way to focus yourself and laugh at the same time. Channeling energy into a creative outlet is a fantastic way to relieve stress and it will give you something to be proud of. Write a sketch comedy or standup routine if putting on a funny movie isn’t enough.

Keeping a Journal can be a great outlet. It also serves as a way to log progress. Sometimes spilling words out onto a page can be cathartic. Journaling is like being your own therapist.
5. The Power of Reiki![]()
Reiki is a very specific form of energy healing, in which hands are placed just off the body or lightly touching the body, as in “laying on of hands.” John Hopkins Institute
