5 Things to De-Stress you

Stress seems to be a part of everyone's lives now, I guess it's the culture and the kind of lives we live. If we're not careful, too much stress can cause problems, not just physically but mentally as well. Too much stress causes mental blocks and mental dysfunctions. It also disrupts your sleep and it causes agitation. Too much stress also takes its toll on your body; it makes you weak and it causes you to slow down.

I'd like to share simple ways which you could do to at least lessen your stress :) These are the things I personally fancy doing. I hope they would help you too


1. Do something you like doing

If you have a hobby, like photography or painting or dancing, set a side a time to do it. Your mind needs a creative outlet too, you should give into it.

2. Go to a spa/Get a massage

Usually, massages relaxes your tensed muscles and soothes your tired body. It's always nice to treat your body to something relaxing after a tough day or week.

3. Sleep

It's important to get enough sleep. It's your body's time to repair the overworked muscles and it also helps calm and relax your body. This also gives your brain a time to cool down.

4. Read a book

Leisure reading is also good for your brain. It's still stimulates brain activity but what you're reading isn't as heavy and serious.

5. Quiet Down

The hustle and bustle of the city is one of the things that contribute to stress. It's nice to be still and quiet down for a while. Play really really soft music to help set the mood and just sit or lie down and just do nothing.

Don't let the world cave in on you. :)
