5 Stress Busters

Hello,

I decided to compile a list of things  that can help to help de stress us.



1. Do something you enjoy
We all have a favourite pastime or something we enjoy doing. When you're stressed or worried about  something, doing something positive that you enjoy can really benefit you by releasing positive energy when doing something you feel passionate about. This can be anything from playing an instrument, writing, reading a book, playing video games, etc


2. Spend time with Family and Friends
Spending time with family or friends is a great way to enjoy yourself and relax. Going for a picnic with your family or meeting a friend to chat and giggle about everything and anything can cheer you up.


3. Deep Breathing or meditation
In stressful situations it can help to breathe deeply to relax. For example 10-20 deep breaths while thinking happy, optimistic, positive thoughts as many times as needed.



4.Talking to someone
A problem shared is a problem halved, it's true. Even beginning to share one's worries, problems or fears with someone, e.g family member or friend can help. When people listen and maybe give advice in a non-judgemental way can ease a burden and lift a weight of one's shoulders.



5. Listening to music
Listening to music can really help generate good, positive vibes. Any music that takes your fancy, for example classical, soothing music or quick, upbeat, lively music. By listening to the beat of instruments and the lyrics, one's mind can absorb the positivity of music and songs to help maintain a positive lifestyle.



6. Exercise
Exercise is another thing that can help relieve stress. Getting out of the house in any way can sometimes help. Swimming, going for a walk, running or cycling. Maybe meet a friend for a coffee and go walking together in a group. The fresh air can really help improve your mentality.
