Yoga
Yoga combines physical poses, deep breathing, and mindfulness, making it a triple threat for stress relief. Start with simple poses like Child’s Pose or Cat-Cow Stretch if you're a beginner.

Dancing
Dancing combines movement and music, helping you shake off stress and feel joyful. Take a dance class or just freestyle at home to your favourite songs.  

Strength Training
Lifting weights or using resistance bands channels frustration into physical effort, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment. Start with light weights and increase gradually to avoid strain.
