STRESS REDUCTION | IT'S A NEW DAY | OCT 24

I 've been away a couple of days as I have been feeling a little under the weather.  I personally have had an extremely difficult year health-wise and to be perfectly honest, I have been feeling extremely STRESSED lately as a result. 

Sometimes you just have to listen to your body and give it a break.  Many of us just keep pushing ourselves and do not rest when our body is telling us,

"HEY SLOW DOWN, I AM REALLY, REALLY TIRED" 

We go into overdrive and our bodies protest. There are many signs that we sometimes ignore; being extremely fatigued, headache, stomach upset, insomnia, colds, flu etc.  If we do nothing to manage our stress levels, our health can be seriously compromised.

So, plan some intentional mini vacations away from the day to day craziness. Some mental time-out. Maybe it's a bubble bath with candles, a spa day, a fabulous luncheon with a friend, yoga, deep breathing, meditation, a run, or a hobby or novel that helps you to relax and diverts your mind.

Whatever works for you!

Managing stress has many short-term benefits and gives people a sense of control in their lives, helping them cope, feel more relaxed and healthier. The long-term benefits can be a stronger immune system and a reduced susceptibility to more serious diseases.

For your health consider practicing/adding some stress reduction techniques to your daily routine.

Your body will thank you!!
