Relaxing at home with a cup of tea

1. Tea & Silence

Make a warm cup of herbal tea. Sit by a window. Just 5 minutes of stillness can reset your energy and calm your nerves.

2. Guided Breathing

Use a 5-minute YouTube breathing video or phone app. Breathe in deeply through your nose and out through your mouth. It works wonders for mental clarity.
