Hi!
Here are six things we could all do to cut down on the stresses in our lives and be calmer.
- Exercise: Why not buy a pedometer (I got one for under £3 the other day) and then walk 10000 steps a day. Building up slowly if you are new to this exercise thingy.
- Breathing: You could look at the breathing exercises used by the likes of Swami Ramdev or the buteyko method.
- Try writing down whatever is stressing you. Sometimes, if we fail to express ourselves stress can build up inside us.
- Learn to meditate and determine to stick to it for a couple of weeks.
- Cut down on caffeine until you don’t drink any at all. Try some herbal or rooibos teas instead.
- Pledge to tell someone politely but firmly that you don’t want to do something, and refuse to feel guilty for it.
- Eat more fruit and vegetables, less processed food, less sugar, and investigate sources of omega 3s for your diet.
These are just some things that can let you tackle your life from a sturdier position.
Hi- If I can, I’d like to add prayer to the list of Anxiety Tips. There’s nothing more soothing than talking to the God of the universe about what ails you!
