4. Minimize Negative Intake 

• Reduce exposure to social media or news that adds to stress.
• Choose to associate with positive and supportive people.

5. Change Your Perspective & Self-Narrative

• Recognize that negative thoughts are just interpretations, not reality.
• Use cognitive techniques like "reframing" to see problems from a better perspective.

6. Engage in Relaxing Activities 

• Participate in activities like reading, drawing, exercising, or walking in nature.
• Breathing techniques like 4-7-8 breathing can help reduce stress.
