10 Steps to Stress Management Stress Relief
– I have some suggestions
- Say No– do not over-schedule yourself
- Rest— Get a good night’s sleep
- Do not work more than 9 hours in a day (I know, I know, there are lots of us who find this almost impossible!!)
- Relax– Take at least half an hour off in a day – just for you. Practice a relaxation or stress-reduction technique. Go for a walk, listen to music, practice deep breathing, spend time with your pet.
- Eat regular and healthy meals and snacks– junk food, sugar and alcohol cravings are going to come when you have low blood sugar – Nutrition is a key factor.
- Exercise– we all know how important this is for stress reduction and to raise the endorphins. Even 10 minutes of exercise, 3 times a day, will really decrease your stress levels.
- Do not drink alcohol, smoke or use drugs to relieve stress.
- Laugh– enjoy movies, cartoons, time with family – whatever lightens your mood
- Slow down– make sure you check in with yourself, and learn to recognize your own stress levels.
- Work on having a positive attitude on an ongoing basis. Watch what you are thinking. Your outlook, attitude, and thoughts influence stress levels.
