Meditate

No matter where you are or what you are doing you can meditate, not necessarily crossed legged, but be it standing one sitting, relax, close your eyes for 5-10 minutes and breathe slowly. Just let your mind, body and soul drift off and just focus on your breathing.

Cook

Cooking can calm you down, it helps take your mind off stress and your worries and it can certainly help relax your mind, body and soul. If you have little ones, siblings, friends or partners, it is also a great way to get them involved and make a fun activity out of it, one I'm sure will leave your kitchen looking like a disaster, but at least you will have a tasty dish out of it, plus you can sit back and relax and watch them tidy up.

By painting or drawing, you can lose yourself to another world, to help stimulate your mind and give you something to focus on, just get lost in the brush stroke moment, not feeling like Picasso, don't let that deter you, go and paint the bathroom, give it a fresh coat, I guarantee you will more relaxed and peace one you have done.
