Hi and thank you for joining me on the Under Blue Skies blog. This week I wanted to stay within the framework of "Organisation" and so I decided that I would look at a few tips that can help you reduce your stress.
Manage your time.
Create
some small routines. These will help
lower your stress because you will have some predictable things happening in
your day.
Your
schedule does not have to be rigid.
Create some short to do lists for the day and say (aloud) what you are
grateful for every day.
Prepare Well
Each
evening spend 10 minutes or so preparing, write down meal plans and make packed
lunches. Decide what you are going to
wear and make sure that everything is in one place. Arrange to have meeting with one or more
friends who make you laugh.
Enjoy Small Things
Focus
on the details of those everyday things you do and slow down, make certain that
you enjoy the current moment.
Move About Regularly
Taking
regular exercise goes a long way to reducing stress and improving general
health. Small periods of activity work
very well if you are not able to get to do a full workout.
Walking
for 10 minutes can be just as good as a 45 minute workout in reducing (or even
relieving) anxiety
Laugh Often
A
good laugh releases endorphins and improves both your mood and your immune
health. Laughter lowers stress hormone
levels (cortisol and epinephrine) and helps improve the management of physical
pain.
Enjoy Nature and Being
Creative
Spending
time outdoors is a natural antidepressant plus natural sounds, smells and
colours can have a calming effect.
Draw,
paint, listen to music or spend time dancing.
Controlled Breathing
5
minutes of slow regular breathing will reduce stress, lower your heart rate and
your blood pressure
Daily Meditation
There
is a lot of mis-information about meditation – you do not have to learn to
meditate, it is a skill that we all have!
When
you take a bath and just thing of nothing – that is meditating
When
you lose yourself in soft music – that is meditation!
Keep A Journal
Keeping a few simple notes allows you to reflect
and focus your thoughts. The entries can
be as long or as short as you need them to be (there is no right or wrong).
You can cover positive things, thoughts,
feelings, achievements and all the little things that happen that have meaning
for you
Sleep Well!
