Do you live a face-paced life? Do you find that there are too many things to do and too little time to do them? Do you ever feel stressed out? Who doesn't, right?
If this sounds like you, then be sure to take time out of each day to relieve stress. Managing stress is important for our health so it's a great idea to find something easy that you can practice everyday to help keep your stress at bay. Tried and true techniques like yoga or meditation are wonderful but that may not be "your thing". Here are some tips to try. Incorporate a few of these into your regular routine and see if they help relieve some tension:
1. Take a few minutes to focus on DEEP breaths.
2. Set limits - don't say "yes" to everything.
3. Listen to some music that you love.
4. Drink a cup of tea.
5. Stretch.
6. Sex. (That's right, we said it. Get those endorphins going.)
7. Write in a journal.
8. Exercise. Make time for a daily walk.
9. Ask someone for a mini-massage.
10. Play with your pup.
According the the Mayo Clinic, practicing relaxation can help to lower blood pressure, increase blood flow to major muscles in your body and help improve concentration. We are also told that your ability to relax will improve with practice. So start today and make sure to make time for yourself EVERY day.
Love life,
