RELIEVING STRESS...
Get a Massage: So many of us forget to take care of ourselves, as we are so busy saving the world for others. Getting a massage relaxes your tense muscles. Studies have found that touch is also healing. So if you can’t afford a massage, reach out to a friend or loved one and ask for a hug
Spend Time with a Pet: Take your dog for a long walk or curl up with your cat and a good book. There is research that supports the idea that being around animals can improve your life.
Laugh: You’ve heard it before; laughter is the best medicine. Call up a funny friend or pop a favorite comedy into your DVD player. Laughing has a way of putting so many things into perspective.
Go Outside: Take your dog for a walk, spend some time in your garden or grab a friend and strut around the park. Getting fresh air and being around nature is calming. Doing it with a friend is even better!
Soak in the Tub: Taking a long, leisurely bath can help relax you. Warm water can soothe aching muscles and calming bath oils can help to unburden you.
Exercise: Join a gym with a friend or meet up with a group from your neighborhood for daily walks. Stretching exercises, such as yoga, can be just as rewarding. Exercising can also help combat some of the side effects of over eating.
Change your Diet: When you are stressed, you are likely to reach for the junk food. Unfortunately the sugar and caffeine can make you feel worse physically. Try eating fruit or a salad with your favorite dressing, along with a multivitamin. It will give you a boost of energy
.
Take the Shortcut: We are so often overwhelmed by this desire to be perfect in so many aspects of our lives. Sometimes taking a break from that can immediately calm you down. Give yourself a night off from the kitchen and order in. Hire a cleaning service to tackle the big tasks. Share babysitters with friends and take turns paying.
Private Karaoke: We’ve all seen the guy at the red light: oblivious to the outside world and singing his heart out to the radio. Did you notice that he was also happy? He’s on to something. Next time you find yourself getting stressed in traffic tune your radio to a favorite station and sing along.
Go out with Friends: When you are having a stressful day it is time to rally for support, send an e-mail to your favorite group of friends and ask them to meet you somewhere for a dinner or ice cream. Talking out your problems with close friends is like being able to fall with a secure safety net.
Color or Doodle: You don’t have to be a great artist to find release through artwork. Even coloring in a child’s coloring book can be soothing.
Turn off the television: After a long day so many of us instinctively turn on the television to watch the news. While it is important to be informed, the evening news can stress you out even more. Consider reading an on-line newspaper or listening to NPR. Spend your evenings listening to soothing music, or the unfamiliar sound of silence. If you have children, use the time to play board or card games with each other.
