Long term and consistent stress can bring even the strongest person to their knees. While a small amount of stress can help motivate us in our daily schedule, large doses of stress can greatly impact our physical and emotional health. In order to reduce the effects of stress brought on by the pressures of daily life, it’s essential to find appropriate stress relievers to bring balance to your mind and body.
Stress takes many forms in our life – work, home, family, relationships, or a particularly stressful event – but whatever form it comes in, the results are often the same. A myriad of physical and emotional manifestations including sleep disturbances, weight loss and gain, depression, high blood pressure, decreased sex drive, and a host of other symptoms. Finding those stress relievers that allow our minds and bodies to relax – if even for a short period of time – will greatly lessen the hold with which stress grabs us.
For some, stress relievers come in the form of a daily and committed exercise program that offers a release for tense muscles. One solid hour of just focusing yourself can loosen the grip of stress, bringing your blood pressure down, and giving your heart a healthy way to spend some time.
Yoga, in particular, happens to be a wonderful form of exercise when it comes to stress relievers. Those who practice yoga are asked to hold postures that stretch and relax the physical body. At the same time, they are asked to supplement the posture with deep and cleansing breaths. These breathing techniques alone can be enough to alleviate stress.
Other forms of stress relievers include meditation, acupuncture, frequent massage, and a number of other physical activities.
Additionally, for those in search of stress relievers they may be no further than their favorite activities. Engaging in hobbies and activities that bring joy and peace to your life can be just the thing to alleviate stress. Search out those things that you love and make a commitment to participating in them at least weekly. The main concern is making time for yourself; once you understand that making yourself a priority is one of the best stress relievers, you’re more likely to make it a part of your life.
Stress relievers – like the stress itself – come in many forms. Take the time out of your busy life to find those stress relievers that work specifically for you. You’ll be rewarded with decreased stress and much improved physical and emotional health.
