Some say that anxiety and restless thoughts have been on the rise, but thankfully, there are many ways to improve the health of one's mental state. And no, you don't necessarily need to hop into a two-hour float tank session to gain some clarity in your life, because we've found some easy tips for you to follow!

Here's an easy but important question for you. When was the last time you laughed? And we don't mean a small chuckle from Saturday Night Live. Laughing is super important when it comes to feeling happy, and individuals who tend to laugh often are usually less stressed out with their lives. If you need a good laughing session, try going to a comedy club, watching a funny movie or hanging out with some of your funny friends.

And here's another tip: try spending at least one day without your computer, social media and/or smartphone. While technology is a great benefit that society has access to, these types of things can often make you even more stressed out. Leave technology at home and try going outside for a nice walk or a hike. You might gain some clarity and perspective within your life that could answer some of your fundamental questions.
