Online puzzles
Take a break and do an online puzzle. Puzzling reduces stress by occupying and engaging the mind to create a sense of calm and serenity (SPBH.org, 2017). As a puzzle is pieced together, external worries and stress decreases as the mind focuses on an activity that is both meditative and satisfying. (https://bit.ly/3ca9OnX.)
