1. Prioritize your to-do list on a handy notepad so the number of items doesn't seem so overwhelming.

2. Move over, basic fidget cubes! Keep a fidget dodecagon in your pocket or purse for those moments when you need to do something with your hands.

3. Remind yourself to slow things down by hanging your tea bag on a colorful lil snail.

4. And brew a relaxing honey lavender blend to soothe your weary bod and mind.

5. Stop the vicious cycle of stress ➡️ stress zit ➡️ stress ABOUT zit once and for all with a pack of seriously cult-fave pimple patches.

6. Take a deep breath and enjoy a color-changing aromatherapy diffuser. Just fill it with your favorite relaxing essential oils and watch the light show!

It has seven different color-changing modes (each one can be set between bright and dim) or a single color mode — so many options! If you have pets, be aware that some essential oils may be harmful to them!

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in two wood finishes).

Promising review: "I was surprised how long it runs on such a small amount of water! It has two options, for diffusing: continuous or intermittent. I have been running it on the continuous mode, mainly because I'm kind of impatient. It also has a light that you can set for just one color or it will alternate between all of them. I am not a fan of strong perfume-y smells, so for me, this is perfect. Last evening it was on a table in my front room, and I would catch a whiff of lavender every few minutes – perfect! Good quality for the money". —krazk8t

7. Curl up with a Munch-inspired pillow for the art history nerd who just needs something to muffle their own screams.

8. Or if the pillow really doesn't represent your level or horror, you can also get an inflatable The Scream you can project your stress onto. Who wouldn't want one of these?

9. Slog through your required reading with a set of sloth bookmarks who'll help you ~hang~ in there and remind you that slow and steady is the way to go!

10. Stay positive with a pretty journal that'll help you keep your life balanced, prioritize your goals, and take action in your life.

11. Take a chill pill while in the tub with a fizzing bath bomb custom-made in your favorite scent.

12. And lay back in your bath bomb–infused tub without getting sore shoulders — just add an extra-thick bath pillow so you can relax and enjoy until every single bubble has disappeared.

13. Shoot your negative thoughts and persistent worries into space through a 60-second guided meditation website, Pixel Thoughts.

14. Keep calm with a set of green Army men who practice yoga. Keep 'em on your desk for a whimsical zen reminder or scatter them around your house to inspire spontaneous stretching breaks.

15. Check out a book that helps you build healthy habits to make your busy life a little more peaceful.

16. Banish work stresses and strains with a mini desktop zen garden.

17. Pop your iPhone into a clever case to remind yourself to close all those apps and just relax for a minute.

18. Use your favorite colored pencils or markers in a swear-filled coloring book so you can scribble out all your frustrations.

19. Cuddle up with a Nervous Nellie — they need a hug to ease their nerves.

20. Or jot your jitters in a notebook that'll gobble up your worries and make them disappear.

21. Upgrade your Friday night in with a trio of vanilla-scented, color-changing flameless candles so you can enjoy a relaxing evening at home AND nap without worrying about anything catching fire.

22. Try a wire scalp massager you can use on yourself, because someone playing with your hair has got to be the most relaxing feeling ever.

23. Or kick it up a notch and fully mellow out with a vibrating scalp massager that releases tension, relieves stress, and stimulates your scalp.

24. Turn your worries into LOLs with Gemma Correll's hilarious book that will make you say "it me."

25. Take a whack at a laundry punching bag when washing your sheets is really just the cherry on top of your too-busy day.

26. Try a yoga pose designed for relaxation — get your butt over to that wall ASAP.

27. Tightly squeeze a plush pufferfish when you think you just might explode.

28. Take your shower to the next level with a waterproof suction cup speaker to play some pump-up jams for morning showerers or relaxing tunes for night showerers.

29. And burn a candle in a crying unicorn holder, and watch it have a ~meltdown~ as you listen to your "songs to stress sob to" playlist on Spotify. Because just as Bonnie Tyler sings, "Every now and then I fall apart."
