Looking for some stress relief tips? Here are my top 10 stress relief tips for helping to relieve and manage everyday stress........
Tip #1 - Keep Positive
- Where
the mind goes,
the body follows. For this reason, try focusing on the
positive of each situation. You'll find you stress less and are more
happy overall.
Tip #2 - Just Say No!
-
Don't be afraid to say no to people (in a nice way of course) when
you're "plate" is already full. You're no good to anyone.....including
yourself, if you're burnt out.
Tip #3 - Don't Sweat It
- Learn to
let the little things go.
Stressing or getting upset over these things will end up damaging your
body and relationships.
Tip #4 - Don't Forget To Breathe
-
It's inevitable that you'll be faced with stressful situations. A quick
way to calm down is to breathe in....and breathe out. Even if it seems
a little silly, try it. I use this all the time, and find it works
great.
Tip #5 - Make Yourself a Priority
-
All work and no play is a recipe for a meltdown when stress hits. The
chemicals released when you're doing something you
enjoy help
balance out the changes triggered during stress. This is true
whether you relax in a warm bath, or get out and play your favorite
sport.
Tip #6 - Laughter & Tears
-
Laughter
is a great way to release stress. Make time for your favorite comedy or
having a good time with family and friends. You'll release a lot of
built up tension and feel better.
Ever get the urge to cry when you are going through a lot?.....let it out! This is the body's way of relieving the pressure from stress. Trust me, you'll feel much better afterwards.

Tip #7 - Meditation
- Meditation
helps to relax your mind and body. You learn to focus on the present
moment and on becoming more aware of stress
triggers....this puts YOU in control.
The relaxed state during meditation gives the
body a chance to
rebalance.
Tip #8 - Massage
- Your muscles carry
the tension when you are stressed. A good massage
helps to relieve it. Your body gets a chance to come down
from it's stressful state. Throwing in some aromatherapy
can help even
more with relaxation.
Tip #9 - Music
-
Taking a break from your busy day to listen to some relaxing
and mellow music can
go a long way. Music's affect on the mind and body is very powerful.
Tap into that by using it to help relieve your body and mind of stress.
Smooth jazz, R&B and natural earth sounds are my
favorites to relax to.
Tip #10 - Exercise
-
Making time to give your body a workout can also help with stress. The
energy used to exercise helps relieve built up
tension and
pressure in the body. Whether you take a brisk walk on your lunch
break, or play a couple rounds of tennis.....you're doing your body
some good.
