First things first, stop and take a deep breath in, and on the way out, say 'huummmmm' whilst clasping your fingers.. I'm kidding. F that for the bants.
The first thing I do, is take a deep breath and swing my arms to and fro. Sometimes, my arms/shoulders crack when I'm doing this and it is so satisfying to release the tension.
Moving on, I go to the freezer and grab some ice cubes. Yes, Ice cubes. I march on into the bathroom and I throw the ice cubes as hard as I possibly can into the bathtub and watch them shatter to pieces. It's like smashing plates but without the damage and mess. It's so satisfying and after a minute or two, you'll feel so much better. If you don't have a bath tub, throw them out of the window to hit the floor or even just throw some against a wall (outdoors!).
If you're at all like me and tend to be a bit on the dramatic side now and again, you might burst into tears and feel like Miley Cyrus with the sledge hammer.
Next up, I put the remainder of the ice cubes back in the freezer before heading to the bathroom and putting a hair mask on. I roll my hair up into a towel and head back to my room before reading a magazine whilst listening to my favorite 90's Spotify playlist.
Five minutes? I've de-stressed in about 3 minutes and as far as I'm concerned, Im so chilled nothing can stand in my way!
