burn incense
If you’re thinking of the kind you offer at a household Buddhist altar, did you know there are actually many different types of incense? If you’re into fashion, you may have seen incense burning in vintage clothing shops.

My personal recommendation is Nag Champa, an Indian incense that’s also used in Supreme’s stores.
It’s very affordable and easy to find.

These findings once again teach us that exercise is good not only for physical health but also for mental health.

karaoke
They say that shouting is good for relieving stress.
That said, yelling at home would probably bother the neighbors and cause problems.
The sea or the mountains are nice options, but if you live in the city, they’re not easy to get to.
That’s where karaoke comes in—you can belt out songs without hesitation.
