33 Ways To Reduce Stress And Be Good To Yourself

 

It’s quite obvious when I say the stress-level has reached an all-time high right now. There are certainly many good reasons to be concerned and feel the need to take action. I won’t argue with that, and at the same time, I want to remind all of us of the importance to be kind to others and to be good to ourselves. Here are some ways to take care of yourself:

  1. Get up 15 minutes earlier.
  2. Prepare for the morning the night before.
  3. Avoid relying on chemical aids to get through your day.
  4. Look at problems as challenges. Look at challenges differently.
  5. Practice breathing s l o w l y.
  6. Eat dinner by candlelight.
  7. Play every day. Dance. Laugh. Goof off.
  8. Do everything in moderation.
  9. Strive for excellence, not perfection.
  10. Stand up and stretch throughout the day.
  11. Know your limitations and boundaries. Let others know.
  12. Get regular reflexology, massage and acupuncture. They are necessities, not luxuries.
  13. Smile!
  14. Walk around when talking on the phone.
  15. Remember you always have options and choices.
  16. Quit trying to “fix” other people.
  17. Get enough sleep.
  18. Cultivate a network of people who support you. Make time for these people in your life.
  19. Talk less; listen more.
  20. Express gratitude daily.
  21. Pay it forward.
  22. Simplify your life.
  23. Do what’s most important FIRST.
  24. Pet a dog or cat
  25. STOP saying negative things to yourself!
  26. CHOOSE happiness.
  27. Look up at the stars.
  28. Start the day with meditation, stretching and exercise. You’ll feel and think better.
  29. Buy yourself flowers.
  30. Take different routes when driving to routine places.
  31. Watch a movie and eat popcorn.
  32. Eat breakfast.
  33. Relax. Take each day as it comes…. YOU HAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO LIVE!
