Get a furry friend
Spending time with a pet releases endorphins. Endorphins have a calming effect and reduce levels of stress. Having pets around are a great way to incorporate exercise into your day. They give you the chance to socialise with other people on walks or in groups and of course, they are great for a cuddle!
