Time to put a little balance back in your life. April is Stress Awareness Month and we are focusing on helping you relieve some stress through yoga, meditation, acupuncture and massage. Stress is based in your mind but can affect your body greatly. Through exercise, you can help release some of that stress by creating a physical outlet for it, which will benefit both your mind and body.
Tips:
- Try a Yoga or SoulBody Barre class
- Meditate for 15 minutes a day
- Take breaks to focus on yourself for a little bit, like reading a book or taking a walk
- Give yourself an entire day with no phone or TV to have a self-care day with no plans, expectations or interruptions
- Forget your obligations for an hour, take a bath and have a glass of wine
- Commit to a wake-up routine that involves stretching and relaxation to start your day off right
- Take restful/non-working lunch breaks where you completely step away from work
