The other day I was having a terribly stressful day and had not been outside all day because of deadlines. I felt frustrated and on edge. My husband reminded me that I “should have” watered the garden so in a bitchy snit I stomped out to the garden and pulled out the hose and then something wonderful happened. SERENITY NOW. Really – I could feel the tension melting away as I unraveled my hose! So with that said here are some tips for you to de-stress:
- Go for a walk.
- Spend time in nature.
- Call a good friend.
- Sweat out tension with a good workout.
- Write in your journal.
- Take a long bath.
- Light scented candles.
- Savor a warm cup of coffee or tea.
- Play with a pet.
- Work in your garden.
- Get a massage.
- Curl up with a good book.
- Listen to music.
- Watch a comedy.
