Don’t let social media put you on the back foot! Create a forcefield of calm around you by embracing these simple, feel-good rituals instead.

Start your day with some samba.
It’s hard to feel stressed listening to Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto, and their playful takes on beachy, Brazilian jazz. Try it in the dead of winter – or kick off your morning with a feel-good anthem of your own.
Stretch for 2 minutes. (It’s 2 minutes well-spent.)
You may not have time for a full-on yoga class, but you can experience a mini-version of the euphoria that yoga brings by stretching: Try a forward fold. Side stretches. Reaching your hands as high as they’ll go. Close your eyes and thank your body for carrying you through each day.
Repeat these steps daily for best results.
