| IM STRESS!! |
People who live busy lives find themselves in a
bit of comes to de-stressing
throughout the day. On the one hand, they have a really busy schedule which
makes it feel like it’s impossible to take the time to de-stress. On the other
hand, that busy schedule creates the stress that requires them to need
de-stressing more than the rest of us. Unfortunately, if they do take too much
time to de-stress, they sacrifice their schedules and then end up more stressed
because they took the time to supposedly relax. What a stressful cycle to be
wrapped up in!
Lets do ten tips offer you insight into ten
small ways to relax in less than ten minutes at a time.
1. Wake up ten minutes early each day.
Simply sit quietly with yourself – listen to
the birds outside or light a candle and make a wish for the day. Note that
these ten minutes don’t actually have to be the first ten minutes of the day. Take
those ten minutes right before leaving the house because they’re up and running
enough to enjoy them at that time.
2. Deep breathing exercises.
One great example is alternative nostril
breathing in which you plug one nostril, breathe in slowly as deeply as you can
and then cover the other nostril and breathe out. Repeat this as long as it is
comfortable to do so. It should take less than ten minutes and you should find
that any stress you were feeling at the start of the exercise has diminished.
3. Trade five minute massages with someone
in your home or office.
It reminds you about where your body is tensing
up and brings you back into the center of your body where you can be more
grounded. It also reminds you of the value of human touch which can improve
your human relationships in a subtle way and reduce the stress in the air
around you.
4. Enjoy a brisk ten minute walk.
This helps to make your mind focus better and
reduces the immediate sense of stress that you may be feeling. Of course, it’s
better if you can take twenty or thirty minutes at a time to walk out your
stress but even ten minutes can do wonders compared to not taking any time at
all.
5. Write out the positive.
Brainstorm a list of the positive things that
are going on in your life or a list of things that you are grateful for.
Re-focusing on the positive for ten minutes by yourself can bring you back to a
happier place and reduce the feeling of stress in your life.
6. Immerse yourself in a scent that you
love.
We can drastically change our moods with the
right scents. Learn a little bit about aromatherapy and figure out how to take
a few minutes out of each day to bring yourself back to a calmer place using
the right oils or perfumes.
7. Make sure to take at least ten minutes of
your lunch hour just to eat.
You don’t have to give up the entire hour but
do take the time to spend just ten minutes focusing on actually enjoying the
food that you’re consuming. Mindful eating of healthy foods for just ten
minutes can really brighten up your day.
8. Choose one song per day to listen to.
With the amount of music we have accessible to
us online and on our personal music players, it isn’t difficult to take only
five minutes to find a piece of music that will relax us that day. Take the
other five to simply listen to it. See how relaxed you feel when you’ve done
this every day for a week.
9. Flirt a little.
Send flirtatious text messages to your spouse.
Find an online friend in another state that you can have an innocuous email
flirtation with. Do something to add a little bit of fun and romance to your
day and your stress levels will go down without taking up much of your time.
10. Take ten minutes at night to yourself.
Get away
from the spouse and the kids and the phone and the computer and take just ten
minutes to yourself without any interruptions. Don’t over-think the day at this
point; just put it behind you and be in the moment. Wash your face with warm
water or enjoy a cup of tea or do whatever it is that allows you to relax alone
for just a short period of time.
