People release the stresses they feel in a variety of ways. Taking time to unwind is, therefore, highly individualised. Some people like to curl up in bed with a good book, while others will prefer a glass or two of wine in the company of friends. Some people do hobbies to de-stress. Usually, these activities help to achieve 'flow'. In this sense, flow means keeping the mind active but not with something that is demanding and, therefore, stressful. Model making, knitting and painting are all well-known ways to de-stress. In addition, people use sports and physical activity to help them feel less stressed out. This is because hormones are released that counteract the stress-related ones when we work out or even just go for a stroll. Some people also forest bathe, do yoga or simply allow their mind to empty out with a breathing exercise, too.
