6 simple ways to de-stress you daily routine

Posted July 1, 2008 at 9:48PM in Domestic bliss - organization and tips by benbaby | Back 

Goofing around with my babies - Big and Lil

 

I'm soo exhausted at the end of each day and was wondering how I could improve upon my life as it is now. And I found these simple techniques quite helpful and thought would share.

1.Breathing exercises/meditation :Cut down on feelings of anxiety by taking a few minutes to slow down and calm down. Inhale through the nose for five counts and exhale through the mouth for five counts.

2.Talk to a friend or family member :Try not to cope by yourself. Friends and family are there to help, and getting a few words of support or guidance can make a world of difference.

3.Take up an enjoyable hobby: Whether it's painting, playing an instrument, knitting, or fly-fishing, choose something that will force you to calm down and enjoy the moment.

4.Go for a walk : It could be on the beach, in the mountains, or around your neighborhood. Just 20 minutes a day can work wonders, both physically and mentally.

5.Cut down on activities—Know your limitations. It is better to tell someone "no" than to overbook your schedule and get stressed.

6.Get enough rest, but don't oversleep
—Adults need between 6 and 10 hours of sleep per night;

Is there anything that you do differently which help you de stress? If yes please share.

I love taking a bath to relax or reading a book.
