Stress Relief

With the holiday seasons upon us, all of the errands and festivities can cause some extra, unwanted stress. These are some solutions to help ease your mind and stay healthy.

Believe it or not, noise like loud sirens and car stereos can over stimulate your senses and cause your heart to race, blood pressure to rise, muscle contraction and even digestive issues like ulcers and stomach cramps. Besides trying to sit quietly by yourself for 5 minutes per day, buy some earplugs. Wear them at home and when you go to bed.

According to a neuroscientist at Regions Hospital in St Paul Minnesota, having a “good cry” when you’re upset will make you feel better. It also rids the body of chemicals that build up when you’re stressed.

Invest in caller i.d. for your home telephone. A lot of Americans have stopped using a home line and just use a cell phone. For those of you that still have a home line, avoid solicitors and telemarketers with an i.d. screening system.

Females get more gratification from hanging out with their girlfriends than men do. A day or evening spent with your closest friends shopping, having a spa treatment or a long dinner is a wonderful de stressor. It’s clinically proven that female bonding reduces stress and increases a woman’s self-confidence.

The Travel Channel on t.v. can also be a nice time out for you. With a click of the remote, you’re taken to a totally different environment. You didn’t actually have to travel or pack. Just imagine yourself being there and far away from your troubles.

Canoodling and comforting physical contact can relieve depression, anxiety and illness. If the canoodling leads to sexual activity, it can release endorphins in the body and also give you a good cardiovascular workout. Even getting a therapeutic massage is very beneficial to the body and soul.
