Stress can be caused by a number of reasons: work, life in general and in some cases, for no reason at all. Stress affects your daily life by reducing your confidence and your output.

When stress comes, here are some quick easy things you could do to alleviate it.

Sleep well
Sleep deprivation is one of the most dangerous things that can happen to the human body. Lack of sleep makes you lose focus and in turn, increases your stress level.
Try as much as you can to get at least seven hours of sleep in a day

Reduce your daily to-do list
It is easy to feel overwhelmed when you have a lot to do in a day, and the problem with having too many things to do in a day, aside from feeling stressed, is that you end up not executing them well.
So, as much as you can, reduce your daily major to-do items to maximum three per day.

Working out
Workouts help alleviate stress. You could choose to do intense workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or more relaxed workouts like Yoga and Pilates.
Do this at least three times in a week.

Music
The power of music cannot be overstated. Music changes your mood in minutes. Listen to calming songs to help relieve you of stress.
