Simple tips to fight stress
Do you struggle to get to sleep at night? Are you a teeth grinder? What about a nail-biter?
All of these are signs you may be dealing with an excessive amount of stress. Everyone handles stress in different ways, and what is a stressful situation for one person may be perfectly fine for another.
If you’re prone to stress, the good news is there are a few simple things you can incorporate into your daily routine to help bring your stress levels down.
- Exercise regularly – at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week
- Keep well hydrated – water is proven to help reduce stress levels
- Try meditation – it can help you stay ‘in the moment’ and feel more focussed
- Learn deep breathing techniques
- Include something in your routine everyday that helps you de-stress. It can be as quick as a few deep breaths, or as long as an hour spend in the bath. Some ideas: take a yoga class, read a book, go for a walk, sit outside, play a game, take a nap, listen to your favourite music, do something just for you.
