Whether it’s anxious snacking, snapping at a friend, or feeling just plain bummed, these are all signs that we’re in need of a reboot to get ourselves back on track. Fortunately, there are endless small ways you can help yourself refresh if you’re stressed and stretched too thin. Here are 15 to get you started:

  1. Try a gratitude breathing exercise like this one we wrote about in December.
  2. Tap into a happy memory.
  3. Turn to fiction for a reading escape.
  4. Count to ten with your eyes closed. Yes, sometimes it can be that simple!

  7. Color with your kids (or on your own!)
  8. Do some downward facing dog yoga.
