Beat stress, be happy
Posted on Feb 12th 2008 9:15AM by Bethany Sanders- Ask for help when you need it.
- If you can control it, do so. If you can't, let it go.
- Make time for yourself.
- Write it down in a journal.
- Take a break, close your eyes, imagine yourself somewhere peaceful, and take a few big, deep breaths of air.
- Research relaxation techniques and find one that works for you.
- Set free your expectations and see what happens.
- Act, don't react. Take time to think about your next step.
- Be kind to yourself.
My two favorite stress relievers are chewing gum and taking a nice, warm bath right before bedtime (which also usually knocks me out for a good night's sleep). What are your favorite ways to keep stress to a minimum?
