Sensory Deprivation
A sensory deprivation routine involves engaging in activities that help to reduce stress and promote relaxation. This can include yoga, stretching, breathing exercises, meditation, journaling, or taking a nature walk. Incorporating these activities throughout the day can help to manage stress and improve overall well-being.
