Managing daily stress for many people is a challenge. More often than not, life happens and you end up being all stressed out and unable to unwind by the end of the day.
Here is a short checklist that you can post on your computer or somewhere you can look at frequently to remind you of ten easy tips that can help manage your daily stress:
- Take a short walk out in the fresh air; whether it is first thing in the morning, lunchtime at work, or after dinner at night
- Do something you enjoy, no matter how small it may be
- Talk with a close friend
- Journaling; whether you have something specific you want to write about or not, just start writing without stopping for 5-10 minutes.
- Consider doing some form of gentle exercise like yoga, tai chi, stretching
- Follow a ten minute relaxation routine
- Train your breath; focus your attention on your breath for a few minutes throughout the day
- Laugh, even if you don't feel like doing so
- Stop what you do when you feel overwhelmed, and do something completely different
- Take a nap
