With an increased awareness of living a health-conscious lifestyle, many efforts are made to reduce stress levels. However, activities such as exercising require an action to go to a certain location and effort to set aside an allocated time. To effectively contribute towards lowering stress levels, we propose convenient, entertaining, and time-effective ways of relieving stress with objects that are used and seen inside home and workplaces. Relieving stress within daily routines can greatly contribute towards making home and workplace more enjoyable, saving time, and improving physical, emotional and psychological health. Specifically, we present: (1) a magic mirror, (2) an interactive media wall, (3) an interactive plant, and (4) an interactive living room wall. We deploy these in real-world environments to demonstrate how interactive objects can play an important role in home and workplaces.
