August 10, 2009
Having family problems? Children acting up? Too much homework? Work assignments piling up? Laundry isn’t finished? So many of us carry a lot of stress on our shoulders on a day to day basis and don’t have the time or knowledge to think, learn, or apply some basic steps to level yourself back to sanity. Next time you are feeling a bit too tense try a few of these simple tips to help calm your nerves.
1. Breathe deeply - count to a 6 second inhale and release for 6 seconds. Picture your tension melting away. Meditation also works very well.
2. Laugh - Its been proven that laughing and smiling will help you feel better and more calm. Try watching a movie, socializing with positive people, or read a humorous book.
3. Get a massage - every now and again its OKAY to spoil yourself and this would be the perfect investment.
4. Write out your feelings - Get it out rather then bottling your emotions. If you are not into writing, try screaming into a pillow rather then AT someone.
5. Exercise - Try going on a walk around your neighborhood or somewhere quite and preferably with a good scenic view. Look around a appreciate our mother nature.
6. Listen to music - Music is always being played in elevators, dental offices, while your on hold or waiting to be transfered for distraction. Why not use it to distract and keep your mind off whats bothering you?
7. Think positive - remarkably it does work! Keep your chin up, don’t let the tiny things get you down. In light of everything else going on in the world, your situation can always be much, much worse.
8. Delegate your tasks - No matter how small or large your business do not try to do everything yourself, but rather, seek help from others. Hire a virtual assistant to reduce your work load. We understand that there’s only so much a person can do in a day and would be more then happy to take a monkey or two off your back and give you the piece of mind you deserve.
Finding the little things that make you happy are also very important to help you de-stress, for me an Arizona Grapeaide does the trick, for someone else it might be a particular type of gum.
It doesn’t really matter what it is, so long as it is personal and it can make you smile.
