8 Ways to Beat Stress

December 7, 2008

Here are 8 ways for you to beat stress. T’is the season to feel a little stress especially if you are one to leave holiday shopping until the last minute. These work anytime of the year as well.

1. Laugh- call up old friends who you can joke with and bring up funny memories

2. Treat yourself this season- put yourself on top of your shopping list this year.

3. Leave the desk for lunch- try to get your mind off of work for at least the lunch break

4. If it’s hard to leave the desk for lunch, get up and take a walk around the block when you get a break.

5. Go jogging or bike riding

6. During your commute to and from work, lock the world out of your world. Ignore the phone and sit back and listen to some music or read a good book.

7. Exercise- this is a great way to beat stress and feel happy

8. Try not to save your holiday shopping until the last minute. If shopping online you’ll want that piece of minid when your gifts deliver on time. If going to the stores, trust me, you’ll feel stressed out when those shelves are empty and you still have quite a few people to shop for.

    GREAT tips. I like to get silly with my 4 year old. There’s nothing like Dancing to the Imagination Movers to make me forget about my worries.

    I will take you up on putting yourself at the top of your shopping list – I plan on treating myself to a day at the spa before the end of the month – gift certificates of course! And exercising, but as my new personal trainer (at least for 6 weeks) you knew that!


  6. Putting yourself on the top of your “shopping” list isn’t selfish it is Self-full. My mantra with clients is “You can’t take care of anyone else if you don’t take good care of yourself first”
    Enjoy!
