We all get stressed at times and sometimes it seems that it is the end of the world but probably an hour later it will be irrelevant. Stress can come from all different places. I tend to get stressed about little things even before I need to. I tend to sit on things for so so long and it ends up driving me insane. There are 3 things that help me when I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed that do tend to calm me down.
1. A Nice Hot Bath
I'm lucky enough to have a bath in my house (I know some people only have showers) and I love to sit in a nice hot bath and evaluate my day and try and suss out the things that are bothering me. I also feel that it is good for a cleanse as when you get out the bath, you feel all nice, clean and fresh (an added bonus is if there are fresh bed sheets). Its also great for when its that 'time of the month' as I do tend to feel a lot more sweaty and dirty during that time so a bath is essential. Bubble bath is a must and a nice smelling bath gel to make you smell lovely.
2. Exercise
Would you believe exercise could help? I find that working out does help to kill those bad vibes. I go to Body Jam on a Tuesday at my gym and it really does make you feel good because its not to be taken too seriously. As you have to concentrate on the routine so much, it distracts me from the possible woes of that day.
3. Talking
I think one of the key things to do when you're feeling stressed is to talk to somebody. I tend to rant and repeat myself a little too much but I do feel like it helps. It also helps when people tell me I'm right because lets face it... who likes to be wrong? Getting things off your chest really can take some weight off of your shoulders. So grab a friend or family member and talk talk talk.
How do you like to de-stress?
