Stress Levels At an all Time High!!!

Stress at an all-time high now (the last two weeks to go now at uni!!)

What can one do to relieve themselves from stress..?

I’ve heard way too many too list, so I thought I’d list my top ten faves!! ^_^

1.       Facing up to what I’m stressing about. I have learnt over the years and in the hard way, that sweeping my anxiety under the carpet really does not help!!

2.       Letting others help me, meaning asking for help!! Yes, that thing called..I had to let get rid of that and just simply ask.

3.       Listening to music..not my dancing shaking in my boots kinda songs though! Relaxing songs, that are gentle & soothing to the soul..and sometimes listening to nature sounds. (Technically not music but still good for the ears! – thank you IPhone for this amazing app, Relax Melodies!).

4.       Doing something arty from jotting down my feelings & stress into the form of a poem or drawing. Anything really: Dancing, singing, writing and even making YouTube videos!!

5.       Having ten minutes to myself somewhere quiet..not focusing on anything just relaxing in the moment letting go of any stress. Some people find this more doable if they are able to meditate, as long as there is somewhere you can go and find peace; you’re all set to go.

6.       If the stress has been caused by anger I just take it all of it and put it into some form of physical activity – such as walking, running, boxing, go to the gym…

7.       Reading a book and delving into some other world, take my mind off my own life and lapping up someone else’s for that moment of time.

8.       At times it can be clutter in one’s life, such as clothes, books and junk. Therefore all you & I simply need to do is de-clutter!! Have a good clear out, get rid of the old and bring in the new!

9.       Detoxing all that caffeine at nigh time, as much I love a good ol’ cuppa..not really the best thing at night for moi, so instead I’d opt for something more calming such as chamomile and honey or a refreshing peppermint tea.

10.   Finally sometimes all I need is a big cry to just to let it all out..whether it’s by myself or on the phone to my best friend. This applies to guys as well as us girls! Just make sure you use some nice soothing balm enriched tissues for your nose!!

Well here you go my ten fave ways of de-stressing! Hopefully some can work for you! As I said these are only a few ways, there are many more, all you need to do is research and voila..more ways to help yourself.
