I'm sure you know what I mean when I tell what its like to have a knot the size of a watermelon in your stomach. It twists and turns and just wont let go. You're stressed out one more time this week and you need to find a bit of relief. Here are 7 ways that you can get some stress relief, I'm sure will help you out.
1. If you're really stressed take a time out and go find a place to relax. Lie down for a while , breathe and clear your mind. Then when you go back to what you were doing you will be able to focus better.
2. This is something I do quite often when something is stressing me out... I sleep on it. Stress causes an incredible strain on the body both physically and mentally. I find that mental stress can actually tire you out more than physical stress. But once you get some sleep you wake up refreshed and stress free.
3. Eat cleaner and by that I mean more nutrient dense food. Fruits and vegetables are nature's food. They help support the body's functions. You should avoid junkfood and stimulants such as coffee or soda as they contribute to higher stress levels.
4. Turn off the tv, radio and no newspapers. Although we may never think about it, the world that is going on around us can be a great stress factor in our lives. Watching, listening or reading about murder, terrorism and other forms of violence cannot possible create anything positive for us in our lives. So why do it? Try to just take one day without media in your life and you will see the difference it can make.
5. Try to find some balance in your life. Too much of any one thing is never good. If you work too much then try spending more time with family or friends. Maybe you can help out other people with something. Try to take life on day at a time.
