Stress management is something we all can do better. While certainly getting a massage weekly – or if you are really lucky a few times a week – will help, it’s what you do away from my office that counts the most. If you have difficulty managing stress in general, the effects from a massage might not last as long if you revert to being a stress-bot once back in the real world.
So take a look at your life, see what sort of stress-reducing techniques might fit and give them a try! The following is a list of ideas as to how to reduce stress:
- Meditate
- Get more sleep
- Eat healthy
- Give yourself quiet time
- Use essential oils – on your person, at home or at work
- Yoga
- Walking
- Biking
- Socializing
- Gardening – my favorite!
I will leave you with a picture from one of my garden plots where I go to de-stress. These strawberries are all volunteers from last year that I transplanted to one end of my plot. They are so awesome!
