Stress

Too often it’s the simple things we fail to watch out for. My goal here is to suggest and make you aware there’s so much you can to do to practice Self Care. Self Care has unlimited boundaries. Whether it’s nutrition, exercising, protecting yourself from harm, getting proper sleep, or keeping your mind alert. The lists are many. I would like to address some Self Care ideas you may find useful and beneficial in your daily life.

You may work a regular 40 work week, a stay home parent, a person who travels a great deal. Maybe you are a care-giver or just do what ever it takes to get by day to day, week to week. Chances are pretty high that you are dealing with some form of stress, most of us are. Dealing with stress will eventually cause medical issues unless we find a way to control it. There are things about stress we don’t even realize. It can take hold of us before we realize what has happened. Sure you can see other people stressing but, rarely we recognize when it’s happening to us.

Don’t wait for someone to point it out to you or you get to the point where you are out of control. And don’t think going to bed, you will sleep it off because usually upon awakening; you are right back where you was. Instead, on those days find you at least one hour for yourself. Go somewhere quiet, sit and just do some deep breathing. Or take a nice walk, enjoy the time alone. Exercise always helps, it boost your mood, a great stress reducer. Most times just talking with a good friend will help. Make this a weekly practice, you will soon find that heavy weight will get lighter.
