Get a rest from stress.

The holidays may be officially over, but you can still be stressed out up to your back teeth.

The #2 solution, according to Real Simple?

Crack Open a Good Book.

Fiction, nonfiction—no matter. People who consider themselves regular for-pleasure readers report less stress than do nonreaders, and they’re also better equipped to cope with difficult situations, according to a 2015 study from the University of Liverpool, in the United Kingdom. Researchers believe that books allow you to “live” through more experiences, which gives you perspective about your own life.
