Try to meditate for 10-15 minutes every day. It sounds cliché, but sitting with your eyes closed and focusing on your breathing for even just 10 minutes a day can really help with anxiety and stress. Try to get outside every day too. Go for a walk, sit on your porch, or hang out at the park to get some sunshine and fresh air. When you feel like you have a lot of pent-up stress, go for a run or bike ride, practice some yoga, or do anything that gets your blood flowing. Exercise can alleviate anxiety and depression and help you burn off some steam. <span id="summary_last_sentence">For more advice, like how to take charge of your life so you feel more in control, keep reading.</span><span id="summary_position" class="sumpos_bottom"></span><div class="s-help-wrap" data-type="summarytexthelp"> <span class="s-help-prompt">Did this summary help you?</span><button class="s-help-response" data-value="1" data-type="summarytexthelp" data-prompt-text="We are so glad to have helped!" data-finish-prompt="Thank you! <a href='#' class='firststeplink'>Return to the article to learn more...</a>" data-textarea-prompt="Please describe what was helpful in the video..." type="submit">Yes</button><button class="s-help-response" data-value="0" data-type="summarytexthelp" data-prompt-text="Sorry that the video wasn't helpful." data-finish-prompt="Sorry the summary wasn't helpful. <a href='#' class='firststeplink'>Return to the article to learn more...</a>" data-textarea-prompt="Please tell us what you would have liked to see in the video..." type="submit">No</button><div class="s-help-feedback-wrap"> <textarea class="s-help-textarea"></textarea><input type="button" class="s-help-submit button primary" value="Submit"> </div> </div></p> </div> <div id="other_languages" class="section_text"> <a href="#other_languages" class="collapse_link">In other languages</a><div id="language_links"> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://fr.wikihow.com/rester-sain-d%27esprit">French</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://es.wikihow.com/mantener-una-mente-sana">Spanish</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://id.wikihow.com/Tetap-Waras">Indonesian</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://www.wikihow.it/Mantenerti-Mentalmente-Sano">Italian</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://ru.wikihow.com/%D1%81%D0%BE%D1%85%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%8C-%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%8E-%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C">Russian</a></div> <div class="language_link"><a href="https://ar.wikihow.com/%D8%AA%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%B9-%D8%A8%D8%B5%D8%AD%D8%A9-%D8%B9%D9%82%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%B3%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%85%D8%A9">Arabic</a></div> </div> </div> <ul id="end_options" class="section_text"> <li><a href="#" id="printLink">Print</a></li> <li><a href="#" id="gatThankAuthors">Send fan mail to authors</a></li> <div class="clearall"></div> </ul> <div class="page_stats section_text">Thanks to all authors for creating a page that has been read 162,433 times.<div class="clearall"></div> <div class="scrolltomarker"></div> </div> </div> <div id="userreviews_mobile" class="section sticky"> <a id="comments"></a> <div class="headline_container"> <div class="headline_info"> <h2 id="ur_h2"><span class="mw-headline">Reader Success Stories</span></h2> </div> </div> <div id="ur_mobile" class="section_text"> <ul> <li class="ur_review ur_review"> <div class="ur_user"> <picture class="ur_avatar"> <source type="image/webp" srcset="/images/thumb/f/f2/CommunityAvatar3.png/-crop-72-72-72px-CommunityAvatar3.png.webp"></source> <img src="/images/thumb/f/f2/CommunityAvatar3.png/-crop-72-72-72px-CommunityAvatar3.png" width="36" height="36" style="max-width:36px" loading="lazy" alt="Tina Miettinen"> </picture> <div class="ur_author"> <p class="ur_name">Tina Miettinen</p> <p class="ur_date">Apr 29, 2017</p> </div> </div> <div class="ur_review_text"> "I have severe mood problems, but never before had it came to me to simply browse "how to stay sane".
