It is so easy to get all wrapped up in life and let the little things stress us out. As I was sitting around over the weekend, I realized that I am letting the smallest of things get to me. So I decided that it is time to reinforce some of my stress relievers. If not, life will not be happy for me…or those around me for that matter!
So here are a few of the things that help me de-stress my crazy, hectic life!
Listening to soothing music can calm my frazzled brain every single time. My choice of easy listening is Enya. So I keep the playlist ready to go at all times and it is usually playing as I study too!
Getting outside and breathing the fresh air can do miracles. It is so easy to get stuck inside behind a desk and loose your perspective. Taking a short walk and letting the breeze blow through your hair helps to re-focus. And it is the perfect time of year to get out and breath the coolness in the air too.
Stop the procrastination! And I am SO guilty. I promise you I am the worst for putting things off until the very last minute. But really…it gets me nowhere! And then I just end up completely frustrated and mad at myself for slacking and waiting until the last minute.
And finally…don’t forget to take time out for yourself. If it is getting a pedicure, taking the camera out and about or retail therapy, make time for you!
So what are ways that you de-stress your life?
I try to keep moving as strange as it seems. If I sit around, things pile up and I go nuts paying catch-up aka stop the procrastinating as you said!!
ReplyDeleteI also go out for a walk.
And most importantly- cook or bake. It's something...heck the only thing I have the most control of!
Reading a good book! You get so involved in the reading you forget about everything else.
ReplyDeleteI make a list! Usually when I'm stressed it's because I'm feeling overwhelmed so list-making helps in a big way. I found you on Mama's Little Nestwork and I'm so happy I stopped by! Great blog!
