"Did you have a stressful week? If the fact that it&amp;#x27;s Friday isn&amp;#x27;t enough to make your stress levels take a dip, then try one of these three things... Sniff some lavender: Multiple studies have confirmed the soothing properties of lavender. Whether you just keep a little sachet at your desk or try it in the form of lavender-scented shampoo, it&amp;#x27;s a cheap and easy way to feel zen. I love lavender, do you? Eat a mango: Oddly, Japanese researchers say that the scent of mango produces calm feelings. They&amp;#x27;re not sure why, but since mango is such a healthy snack, it&amp;#x27;s worth trying! Have a good cry: Confession: I cried recently, and it felt really good. I felt calmer afterward, less worried about the thing I was crying about in the first place. Turns out, I&amp;#x27;m not alone. More than 85 percent of women say that crying helps them feel calmer. So don&amp;#x27;t hold back those tears! My favorite ways to get calm, aside from the above, are to: *Go for a run (seriously, it&amp;#x27;s best thing I&amp;#x27;ve found to clear my head and make me feel less anxious) *Listen to music (it&amp;#x27;s a mood-altering substance, say experts) *And take a nap or go to bed early, preferably after taking a hot bath.
