You can definitely relieve stress by taking time to relax. It is really important to set aside some time each day to gather yourself. Take a few minutes to breathe deeply and relax. If you think you don’t have time to do so, just think of how much time you’re going to lose repeating task, taking longer to get them done or developing health issues because of the stress! Sometimes, all we need is a few minutes to close our eyes and think tranquil thoughts and of how great we will feel when all of this is over! Try it!

If you have a little more time, take a walk, or a relaxing bath. There’s nothing like walking or washing away stress! If a vacation is not an option, try a “stay-cation.” You might be surprised what a change in scenery or surrounding can do.

Be Grateful!

Count Your Blessings!  count your blessings

There are times when just a little reminder of the things we can be grateful for can help remove tension and relieve stress. Everything can be in an uproar but if we take time to see what’s is going well or to acknowledge that things really could be worse, it helps put things into perspective for us.

Just being thankful for the good in your life changes your thoughts, therefore, changing your emotions and your actions. This in turn will change your atmosphere and help you distress! If we only see what’s wrong, it doesn’t allow us the space to focus on what’s right and we miss all of the good things that are often right under our noses!

Prioritize!

Make A To Do List! prioritize

Take time to prioritize the things you have to do. Order them by importance and then complete those at the top of you list either in order of importance or shortest length of time to complete, whichever works best for you. Sometimes getting easier tasks out of the way helps to give a sense of accomplishment. When we feel as though we have made some progress, tension is subsided. When our schedules are packed, we have to be careful to maintain order. Time management is a great skill to develop to keep stress to a minimum. Get organized and be careful not to blow deadlines! You can stay on top of things and not let them get on top of you.
