Destressers

Sometimes life just gets on top of us and before you know it you're stress or at the very least uptight.  Try these little beauties to remove some of that stress.

1. Get moving.  Exercise is proven to help relieve stress and other negative emotions such as depression.  Any kind of movement is good so pick one that you love.
2. Have a laugh.  Laughing creates a euphoric effect that will instantly release any tension you have.
3. Count to 10.  Taking deep breathes and a wee bit of time out is an age old classic that costs nothing and is very effective.
4. Meditate.  Even 5 mins a day of meditation will help stress levels. This doesn't have to be a big deal just find a quite spot,  look downwards and with unfocused eyes clear your mind of as much as you can.
5. Essential oils.  Lavender is the most popular relaxant but there are plenty others to try.
6. Stretch.  A good stretch out can help with the physical symptoms of stress.  Try a class of yoga or even a basic stretch at your desk.
7. Flower remedies.  These can target the source of your negative emotions helping to increase the positive.
