Let’s go from 10 to Zen 👇🏼
Monday got you all revved up to anxiety level 10?
Me too. Life stresses… work worries… - we all want to kick them up the derrière.
I don’t profess to have all the answers, so I'm not going to lie and sugar coat this.
Occasionally, I can be quite a stressy person - but only because I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to work and wanting to succeed in life.
Everyone gets stressed on a day to day basis, it's just part of life, and sometimes no matter how hard you try, you just can't kick that stress/mood away. It's just a bad day.
Often though and 99% of the time, there are ways to beat that pressure and just blooming enjoy life and this beautiful world that we live in (easier said than done, I know).
Here are some simple ways I deal with stress:
- Start your mornings with a workout - they're energising and kickstart your day the right way
- Go on runs or walks - a very effective way to clear you mind
- Socialise - the amount of times I've had to prise myself away from my studio to socialise… but trust me, you'll feel a million times better for getting up and having a break. It’s the little things: like popping to your local deli, and having a natter with your neighbour you happen to bump into.
- Have a laugh - laughing and smiling release endorphins which are proven to make you feel happier/are natural pain and stress fighters. So, Google funny cat videos, or go grab a bar of chocolate - they both get the endorphins working!
- Speak to someone - having someone you can speak to about your stress really helps; you should never keep it hidden away. Also, sometimes talking to other people really puts your stress and worry into perspective.
- Music - listening to music is such a mood changer. Find a nice upbeat playlist and have a daytime dance if you feel like it! I guarantee that will release some stress.
And a final reminder: you're only human, you don't have to have it together every single second of every single day.
Do you have any stress fighting tips? What are your favourite ways to combat worry and pressure?
