How to Conquer Stressful Times

You can't escape everyday stress, but you can manage it!

 

Stress happens when your brain recognizes a threat, no matter how big or small.

 

This could come from a tough deadline at work, an issue in your relationship, or anything else that "gets on your nerves".

 

Once stress builds up, it's hard to stop it.

 

Life always throws challenges your way.

 

That's why everyone needs a "stress relief" toolbelt to help them handle it all.

 

Here are 3 ways to manage stress:

 

The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique

 

Anytime you feel stressed, you can take a few minutes to sit down and perform this grounding technique.

 

It forces you to tap into your senses and be present, which may alleviate stress.

 

You'll choose…

• 5 things you can see
• 4 things you can touch
• 3 things you can hear
• 2 things you can smell
• 1 thing you can taste

This mini-meditation puts you into sensory mode. Try it and see if it makes a difference!

 

Sweat it Out in the Sauna

 

Do you find it hard to workout everyday?

 

We all know exercising reduces stress, but there may be an easier way to get a similar benefit.

 

Most gyms nowadays have a sauna or steam room.

 

Research finds that sitting in the sauna may help manage stress.

 

In just 10-20 minutes, you'll feel much more relaxed.

 

Due to heat exposure and endorphin release, the sauna can help you produce more "feel-good" chemicals in the brain.

 

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

 

You probably notice most of your stress right before bedtime.

 

It's extremely common for this to get in the way of peaceful, deep sleep.

 

In order to help, try a technique called Progressive Muscle Relaxation.

 

You simply close your eyes and choose one muscle in your body to focus on.

 

Flex that muscle for a few seconds, then let it relax completely.

 

Repeat this for every major muscle while lying down in bed.

 

This kickstarts a physiological relaxation process.

 

So there you have it! A few easy tips to manage stress and handle whatever life throws at you.

 

Unlock ultimate relaxation with these techniques in your toolbelt.
