Shake off the stress: four hacks to lift up your mood on busy days

There are days when everything at school or work goes as planned, and then there are days when the stress keeps you from being productive. These are the times many dread the most because it disrupts one from being in the zone.

To help you get through these days, try out these simple hacks that can help lift your mood up even on your busiest day.

Call a friend

Sometimes, a friend’s listening ear and empathic voice are the balms you need to get through your day. Lean on your support group and don’t hesitate to ask for help.

Watch cute animal videos

Have you ever watched videos of tiny animals being all cute and silly on your feed? These videos might just melt your heart and make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Turns out, studies prove that watching these videos helps reduce anxiety levels by up to 50%!

Schedule something fun after work hours

Try this no-fail hack on your worst work days. Rally your friends and have an after-work karaoke sesh, game night, dinner, or gig night. Having something to look forward to after the day’s battles can really help manage your stress.
