I’ve been incredibly stressed out with planning the beginning of a new academic year, in the midst of the unrelenting Delta variant, hurricanes, ending wars, and all the above. I decided to check in with my Twitter network to see how they’re managing stress and creating joy. Here’s what I learned:

Go to bed early!

Join cross-fit or have a regular exercise routine

Cook ( old and new dishes)

Turn off social media! Take a break.

Start a garden

Dance like nobody or everybody is watching!

Try yoga or Zumba

Odentify trusted sources of information!!!! Fight disinformation

Go outdoors. Take a hike, long walks.

Share joys with family and make it a ritual.

Cuddle!

Give yourself, and others, grace.

audio and traditional books.

List what you’re grateful for!
