Feeling a little tense? Suck on something.

The next time you’re feeling anxious or tense, there are a few simple tricks you can try that are guaranteed to take the edge off:

• Suck on something: A popsicle or a lollipop can do wonders. That sucking action helps to relax tight neck and jaw muscles which is key to relieving stress.

• Tear something: Find some old bills or junk mail and start ripping the up. It’s called rip therapy. The physical motion of tearing and the rhythmic sound eases anxiety.

• Rub something: Start with your ears. Massaging your lobes and cartilage for 30 seconds helps calm your mood by releasing dopamine.
