Tips to Relieve Stress

When you are overstressed, even the smallest irritation can set you off.
Luckily, little pleasures can take the edge off and get you back to a healthier place.
Relieving stress doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, time, or effort.
It may be as simple as making time for yourself, doing something you really enjoy.

Get Active

You don’t have to run a marathon. Take a walk, take the stairs, take it at your level. Even 20 minutes a day of light exercise can calm your mind and lower your stress hormones. Exercise boosts endorphins in your brain, which improves mood!

Reduce Social Media

Remember all that other stuff you enjoyed before unlimited wifi came alone? Don’t worry; you won’t be missing out on anything by taking an hour off scrolling all your feeds. Pick up a good book, try a puzzle, play a board game. Just disconnect!

Get Pampered

A home facial benefits more than your skin! Soothing creams, calming scents, and time alone will help you decompress... and the resulting radiant skin will further boost your morale. For added release of endorphins, try a nice hot bubble bath!

Get Enough Sleep

Sleep is so crucial that even slight sleep deprivation or poor sleep can affect memory, judgment, and mood. Research has shown that most people would be happier, healthier, and safer if they were to sleep an extra 60 to 90 minutes per night.

Eat Healthy

Healthy foods can help improve blood flow in the body, and so help deliver key nutrients to the brain. Some key nutrients that have been shown to fight stress are plant compounds such as polyphenols, which are found in green leafy vegetables!

Meditate

During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. Spending even a few minutes in meditation can restore your calm and inner peace.
