3. Exercise
 • Regular exercise can help relieve stress and anxiety by releasing endorphins, which are the body's natural "feel-good" hormones.  
4. Practice relaxation techniques
 • Try breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or mindfulness techniques to help manage stress.  
5. Connect with friends
 • Spending time with friends or reaching out to a loved one can provide emotional support and help reduce stress levels.
