15 ways to find some relaxation

I'm not saying this will all work for everyone, but hopefully some of them will help people during this very stressful time.

1. Scan your body for tension. The other day I was like "oh why do I have a headache?" and then realized I'd been clenching my jaw for who knows how long
2. Stretch, roll your joints, this helps relieve tension
3. Take a bath. A lot of us have the time now, so take it
4. Give yourself a massage. For me this is often just taking the time to scratch my head a lot, but it does really help
5. Listen to calming sounds. I use this video of rain and Tibetan bowls all the time to help me fall asleep
6. Allow yourself time to do nothing productive. I think a lot of people are focusing on how productive they can be now and that is great to think about, but remind yourself that you don't need to be productive every second just because you have so much more time at home now
7. Take a nap
8. Cuddle a pet or a loved one
9. Journal
10. Write letters
11. Doodle
12. Look up memes (either about the virus or not, whichever helps you)
13. Look at photos and videos of loved ones
14. Light a candle
15. Eat delicious food (even if it isn't the healthiest)
