“Mach-S, the speed at which stress can’t keep up, is simply forward motion. But it has to be self- propelled. Note that people in cars are still stressed.” – Jef Mallett, Frazz, 08-26-05
Exercise.
Cartoon humor aside, exercising is one of the best ways to eliminate stress. It gives you a positive outlet for pent-up energy and frustrations. Properly done, excercise burns those excess calories, stretches and develops the muscles.
Exercise re-energizes you by sending a fresh supply of oxygen throughout every cell of your body. This also asists in clarifying your thinking.
Best of all, it produces endorphins – the feel good hormones – that de-stress you and put you in a good mood! When you feel good, it’s easier to fight stress and overcome challenging situations.
Make time for yourself.
You can do anything you want during this time – reflect, pursue a hobby, shop, take a relaxing bath with soft music and candles, or just lie down and stare at the ceiling in the peace and quiet if that makes you feel good! The time you reserve for yourself allows you to relax and replenish. You’ll find that you have more energy and patience in your life if you take time for yourself. Rather than being selfish, you’re actually allowing yourself to become the best you can be. Tags: Mindset, personal success, positive attitude, Stress
