7 ways to release stress

Stress is dominating our lives, we are stressed about economic situation, we are stressed about our work, relationships, responsibilities etc. Stress has become a big part of our lives and vocabulary. Here are few tips to release it.

1. Don’t avoid it; deal with it in the present moment. If you are having troubles or there is worry and stress in your life, you must deal with it in that moment. Indecision and avoiding the problem will only create more stress and problems. The body is always in the present time and is always reflecting what’s going in the present moment. If you are stressed in the present moment and if you decide to ignore it, consequently, you are ignoring the body and its signal to release the cause of the stress.
2. Be yourself, when you are trying to be someone else, for example trying to be a person that your boss wants you to be or changing your behavior to please someone. It changes your vibration and you start using someone else’s information in your body and that can cause stress in the cellular level.
3. Meditation: Create time for yourself everyday even if it’s only for 30 minutes. Creating a sanctuary space for yourself where you can give to yourself can reduce stress from your day. Meditation will help you release and find stillness within.
4. Avoid making excuses. Blaming other people or circumstance doesn’t help. Don’t play the “I am a victim” game. Take responsibility for your own actions.
5. Move the body. Small walks in the park, a yoga class, a jog or any physical activity will help you release stress from the body.
6. Slow down. Notice how fast you walk and slow down. Notice how fast you eat and slow down. Notice how fast you talk and slow down. Literally, slow your pace and you will notice less pressure and stress.
7. Don’t take things personally.
