5. Read
Reading is another hobby that will let you disengage your mind from whatever is causing you stress and help you to clear your mind of those things. Not only does reading engage your attention, but it actually fills your inner monologue ensuring that you can’t both be focusing on your book and thinking about others things.
Once again, reading can plunge you into a different state of mind and it’s only when you look up from your book that you realize how much time has passed.
Throw in the chance for a little escapism and imagination and you have the perfect form of relaxation.
