Here are some things to get you instantaneously feeling great in no time!
Ever have a gut-busting laugh session with a friend and feel your mood lift tremendously? That's the fastest way to feel less stressed. Laughing releases the "feel-goods" that immediately make us happier and gain perspective, and just makes life fun!
If you have a pet, show it some affection today. Studies have shown that petting your cat for just a few minutes reduces your blood pressure and stress levels. Plus, reward Fido for the unconditional love he gives you every day!
Organizing your things does more than make the house presentable for guests; it has psychological effects on your well being. Turns out that the more things are out of place in our environment, we tend to have greater levels of anxiety. With the holidays behind us, this can be compounded with all the new gadgets and gizmos bequeathed to us this season. Take a few moments to clear a drawer, or table top and find that your stress levels have decreased. Plus, your house looks, and feels, nicer!
Do your cleaning, and kill two birds with one stone by getting exercise at the same time. Take advantage of the feel-good psychological benefits from an organized home added to the endorphins released with getting the heart rate up. Our minds and bodies love physical work, and in return reward us with calm minds and pleasant moods. Go for a nice run to boost your self esteem and clarity of mind. The overwhelming strain that once bothered you suddenly will seem not so invasive!
Next time you take a shower, reveal your inner rock star and sing! Singing has a great way of boosting our mood and the mood of those around us. If you find yourself feeling stressed out, trying singing your most preferred song to yourself- you may be surprised how better you feel!
You and your partner stressed out about the holiday bills? Take a night to have some alone time between the two of you. Getting frisky is a sure-fire way to reduce your stress, boost energy levels, uplift your self esteem and deepen the bond between the two of you.
Get more sleep! Sleep deprivation actually increases the levels of stress hormone, so you are less likely to feel better when skipping on sleep. If you have a hard time winding down due to all your worry, do some relaxation activities before you go to bed to unwind. Read a nice book, have a cup of herbal tea, get a massage (enlisting your spouse is even better!).
All of these things can be implemented at any time you need to feel better, de-stress, and increase your energy! All of us have things draining our energy, and take the time now to feel awesome! Increasing your energy using natural, safe methods in a great way to deal with stress. Dr. Mark Stengler, who specializes in finding balance in life, just released a 5-week program capable to increase energy and decrease stress significantly by using safe and natural methods. Several people have commented on the expertise of Dr. Stengler's knowledge in helping people feel better naturally!
