Feeling Stressed? Try these Tips for Easy Ways to Relax

Sometimes the week just catches you by surprise and leaves you feeling tired and stressed. No matter how organized you are, or how hard you work, there are some weeks where you feel like you should have just stayed in bed. If this is how you’re feeling then it’s time to take a little me-time with these easy, at-home tips to de-stress.

Chill – Whether it’s a long, hot bubble bath, a casual stroll on the beach or night spent with your favourite movie and some popcorn, do one thing that allows you to fully relax and wind down – even if it’s just for a half hour. You’ll notice the difference and you’ll be able to accomplish more and remain more focused.

Socialise – You know what they say, laughter is the best medicine so call up your girlfriends and plan a coffee date or go out for a drink. Indulge in a little gossip and allow yourself to giggle uninhibitedly.

Pamper Yourself -If you can, book yourself in for a 30min massage – or a 60minute one if you can manage it. There are also so many options for at-home DIY pampering such as face masks, manicures and pedicures. Give yourself a little attention and feel the stress melt away.

Get Active – Go for a run, take a spinning class, walk the dog, play tennis…whatever it is that you enjoy that gets your blood flowing. Exercise works wonders for lowering stress levels and the boost of endorphins is always a welcome bonus.

With these easy tips you can lower your stress levels and find your way to a happier, healthier you.
