We currently live in a capitalist society where money and power rule. Therefore, many of us have become workaholics and often overlook the signs of tiredness to stay on track. I am not saying that people should stop working hard to achieve their goals. However, there is a small problem: we don’t know how to manage our stress, which is definitely not a good thing! Stress has been linked to mental/emotional (depression, anxiety, and anger) and physical (weakens the immune system) illnesses. Therefore, it is more than important that you constantly work to reduce your stress level in order to maintain your overall health. The bottom line is that if we’re not healthy, there’s no money or power to make things better. So take care of yourself. Below, I have added six tips to release stress.
Exercise: even going for a 15-25 minute walk four days a week will help your body get rid of adrenaline and produce endorphins (a natural tranquilizer). Not to mention, not only will you feel better, but you’ll also look right at home.
Yoga: Many ramble that practicing yoga is the best way to manage or release stress. It focuses on breathing techniques, exercises, connection with the universe on a spiritual and mental level. If this option sounds interesting to you, I suggest you do some research to learn the principles and decide if it is for you.
Stretching – People often stretch before and after a workout. However, learning stretching and bending exercises to use as a way to relieve tension in many different areas of the body can go a long way.
Massage: We all know how massages can help us relax and release tension. Prices start around $40 for 30 minutes; it all depends on what extra relaxation techniques you would like to add to the massage, such as aromatherapy, oils, etc. There are also different types of massages so this will also affect the price. In fact, I found a therapist who charges $33 for a 30-minute session. Sounds pretty good to me. We waste money in many different ways, so investing in a massage from time to time will not kill our pockets.
Laugh: Rent a funny movie and laugh out loud. Go out with friends or organize meetings. Tell everyone to bring a plate. Remember that the key is to release tension, not add to it. Use paper plates and plastic cups to reduce the amount of work.
Take a break: Take some time to relax, sleep, and maybe even take a vacation if you can. Your body not only needs it; you deserve it.
live without stress,
