Good Sense Ways To Ease Stress

Stress! We all have it, but excessive stress can be damaging to our health and well-being.

Here are a few strategies which I have found to be most helpful to calm some of the stresses of our daily lives.

Take a day off or even a week - yes everyone needs a break and some "me" time occasionally, so delegate your workload and relax.

Sleep in, and when you wake, stretch luxuriously like a cat, and lie for a few minutes before rising.
Contemplate the day ahead with deep contentment and banish all worrying thoughts from your mind.

Sit in the open air with a cup of (preferably herbal) tea, breathe in deeply and let go any remaining unease.

Go for a walk by the beach or in a park, and feel your mind and body becoming peaceful and relaxed.

You may feel the benefit of listening to some music you love, or reading a book you have been wanting to but have never seemed to have had the time to indulge in.

Having enjoyed your break however short, savour the benefits and return feeling refreshed and renewed.
