Unfortunately stress is always in your life. Stress is not only induced by negative circumstances. Stress can be from happy events like getting married, moving to a new house or having a baby. The awesome news is stress does not mean you have to damage your body or ruin your relationships with others. There are natural steps you can take to manage your stress well. Nasty chemicals aren't even needed to manage stress.
Here are 5 things you can do:
1. Relax: I know I feel stressed when I have a lot of "deadlines" happening at once. It will always be helpful to take even just a simple break from your work. Try doing some simple stretching exercises during your break is helpful.
2. Meditate: Looking inward at yourself and really noticing how you feel will help you deal with stress effectively. When you meditate you should try deep breathing. Why? Because deep breathing cues your body to RELAX.
3. Exercise Regularly: When you use your body differently than usual, you can help to alleviate the stress that you are experiencing. Oh, and your immune system gets stronger too, so that means you have to take less real "sick" days.
4. Live A Healthy Lifestyle: Do you smoke? If so, please stop. Smoking is a unhealthy habit. Not even moderate smoking is acceptable. This lifestyle choice can actually make your stress worse.
5. Get your beauty sleep zzzz: 8 hours of sleep every day is not enough. It's the quality of your sleep that counts. Set the mood. Make sure your sleep chamber is setting your up for success. Individuals who sleep well are less prone to irritation and stress.
