Reality is the leading cause of stress among those in touch with it. - Lily Tomlin
Stress, the more you think about it the more stressful it becomes.
Self-care routines are an easy way to de-stress every day. Self-care is not a one and done sort of event, this is something you need to practice daily.

Take a walk with nature
