From a stressful finals week to an impossible work deadline, everyone needs time to relax. Sometimes, however, relaxing can be more difficult than running five miles straight, because your mind is constantly thinking of all the things that are stressing you out. If you need some help relaxing, then try out these four calming activities (they’ll blow your mind).
