Whenever we're feeling stressed, we like to relax by watching a movie or doing puzzles [1]. If you're extremely stressed out, talking to someone about how you're feeling, journaling, and creating a self-care routine [2] also helps. Aromatherapy may also help you relieve stress and feel more calm. The research is unclear on how effective aromatherapy is, but it's worth giving a shot if you feeling stressed out. Ahead, you'll find the best essential oils to relax and feel more calm.
