The importance of de-stressing
Many people these days find themselves "stressed-out" What does this mean really? Being stressed-out means different things to people and can look very different as well.
Are you angry? Are you feeling a lot of anxiety? Is it affecting your sleep patterns or your relationship? Maybe someone in your life seems to be struggling?
There are many ways to de-stress and the main point I would like to make in this edition of the newsletter is this:
It is really important to make time to de-stress.
This means making it a priority and making room in your schedule for it. You might go to the gym, go for walks, spend down time with friends, write music, read, watch a movie, start taking a yoga class. Do what seems to work for you. Your body will appreciate it.
Your body will not continue to function very well in the long-term if you are feeling a lot of anxiety and not giving yourself a chance to release it.
There are different kinds of stressors out there that may be affecting you. Stress can be related to aspects of your life such as work, school, family, finances, relationships, unemployment, mid-life transition, lack of a creative outlet, poor body image, or lack of energy and motivation. Take some time to think about where your stress is coming from and then you will be better able to deal with it properly.
Do you need a break from your job? Do you need to learn some assertiveness skills for better communication? If finances are a worry, perhaps a financial advisor can help? Would better eating habits and a little bit of exercise help you feel better about yourself?
I believe that people can see improvements in their life with just a few small changes to get the ball rolling.
I would just like to make a quick note in regards to learning skills for managing anxiety: If I added you directly to the mailing list for this newsletter, you likely have not received an email with a report called 35 Ways to Manage Anxiety . If you would like to receive that email, you can simply go to the website and enter your email address to subscribe to the newsletter and you will automatically receive the free report. As long as you do not use a different email address, you will not receive the newsletter twice. You may have picked up a hard copy of the "35 Ways to Manage Anxiety" report if I met you in person at a Wellness Show or other engagement. If you would like another copy, please feel free to download it via subscription as outlined above.
