6 Ways To De-Stress
1) Read a book.
Reading for just 6 minutes a day can reduce stress by up to 68%, according to a 2009 study from the university of Sussex. It helps to distract the brain from your daily stressors. Not only that but it can also relax your body and lower your heart rate. https://www.realsimple.com/work-life/relaxing-books
2) Take a walk-in nature.
Taking a 30min walk-in nature lowers the levels of your cortisol, aka stress hormone. It is also known to reduce depression.
3) Enjoy your favorite candle.
Candles contain calming properties. The aromatics of the candle can calm and relax the mind and promote positive emotions. Also, tranquil ambiance of the flickering light relaxes you.
4) Write in a journal.
Writing down your daily stressors helps to get them off your brain and onto the paper, creating an emotional release of the negative thoughts and feelings. It also helps you manage your emotions and sort out your thoughts.
5) Take a break from technology.
The constant notifications and distractions from technology can leave us feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Take a few hours a day to unplug from technology to help you feel relaxed and in the present moment.
6) Listen to calming music.
You can promote a calm and meditative state by listening to music with a slower tempo. It can also decrease your cortisol levels and lower your blood pressure and heart rate. Music can make you feel happier, more relaxed and less stressed.
Everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another. Remember to take care of yourself and prioritize your well-being. Experiment with different destressing methods to find what works best for you. Implementing some of these destressing techniques into your daily routine can make a big difference in your overall health and happiness.
