You can learn to reduce stress and improve your well-being. It’s not as hard as you think, nor does it require hours of time every day. You just need 15 minutes of your time, once a day or every other day. And while everyone’s different, there are some techniques that have been proven effective by research and experience:

Exercise

Exercise can be a great way to reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. However, it’s important that you exercise effectively if you want to get the most out of your workout. Here are some tips for making sure that each session leaves you feeling relaxed:

• Start small. If you’re new to working out, start with just 10 minutes of light cardio like walking or jogging on a treadmill at an easy pace-and go from there! You can always increase the intensity of your workout as time goes by if this proves effective for stress reduction.
• Work out regularly (but not too much). Try scheduling three or four workouts per week at first; over time, add more days until reaching five or six days per week if desired (but not more than seven). This will help ensure that any improvements in the mood last long enough without becoming overwhelming during busy times when work may require additional hours away from home
