Stress is a normal part of life, but when it gets out hand, it can harm your health. Don’t let your busy schedule leave you in a chronic state of stress when there are easy ways to manage it:
- Take a break to breath deeply and exhale slowly, paying attention to the airflow.
- Go for a walk. It’s been shown to immediately boost people’s mood and make them feel more relaxed.
- Take a mini-vacation in your mind. Visualizing a favorite place, doing a favorite activity can do wonders.
- Reach out to friends. Chances are they can offer solutions to your dilemma.
- Take a small step toward a goal, and then give yourself a pat on the back. Repeat.
