Here are some of my stress breakers:
Hug a stuffed animal. Nothing says calm like a big, smushy teddy bear, stuffed dog, alligator or stuffed bulldog


Bulldogs!

I love big, smushy teddy bears. they have to be really fuzzy though



I have one just like this at home. I thought it was an Australian dingo, nope. It's an African Wild Dog. I still call it a dingo; I even named it something Australian: Hugh, after an actor I like



I have one like this too

Aww, pugs!!

-Watch a funny movie or TV show. For me, watching Mr. Bean, Wallace and Gromit or Monty Python and the Holy Grail always does it in for me. By the end, my eyes are watering I'm laughing so hard!

-Listen to music. My recommendation: Like I said up above, R&B, jazz, soul, Spanish guitar, Latin, Oriental flute music, or just any kind of Asian music in general usually does perfect.

Seal. My "go-to" guy for R&B

-Play video games. Play something like Just Dance Summer Party, Just Dance 2 or some kind of motion game for the Wii system if you have it. If you're up and moving, you'll relax by burning out that stress through sweating!!

-Read a book you like. Since I read virtually every book I own, that one is out, lmao!!!
