Occasional Stress

Feeling stress on occasion is an unavoidable part of life—we all experience it in some form or another. Whether it’s the “good” kind (like planning a wedding or balancing a flourishing career with a busy family life) or the “bad” kind (like losing a job or getting caught up in doomscrolling), when stressors hit, it’s no fun for your body or your mind.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE HABITS FOR STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress management doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Often, it just requires finding small ways to incorporate relaxation into your daily routine. Here are some ideas:

1. Schedule downtime

When planning out your daily routine, build in time for rest! For example, you could try to find 5-10 minutes to sit in meditation in the morning, savor a cup of tea after lunch, or take a relaxing bath before bed.

2. Step outside

Research has shown that being surrounded by nature gives our tired, stressed-out brains a chance to relax and recharge. Simply taking a 10-15 minute stroll outdoors can do wonders to clear your mind.

3. Breathe deep

Here’s a simple 3-part breathing technique you can do anywhere to calm your nervous system: Inhale deeply into your belly, then your ribcage, and finally your chest. Exhale fully in reverse order, and repeat.

4. Get creative

It might seem silly, but a little arts and crafts time can go a long way toward easing everyday tension. Pick up a guitar, your knitting needles, an adult coloring book or anything that makes you happy.
