Here are 5 useful tips to remind you to take a time out to play, laugh, and stress less.
- Re-establish "childlike" qualities. Explore the healing power of play. Our mind, body and soul are renewed when we play. Get online, play a game and have some fun!
- Laugh as often as possible to release endorphins, or healing hormones. It increases artery diameter by 22% and is a great source of stress reduction.
- Remaining connected socially with family and friends has health benefits. If you can't go out, go online.
- Practice daily stress reduction (Meditation, yoga, deep breathing) at least 10 minutes twice a day (morning and evening) to lower blood pressure, your heart rate and give you an immune boost.
- Exercise at least 20 - 30 minutes every other day. Blend or alternate aerobics with strength training, stretching, flexibility and agility exercises for an endorphin boost. Exercise is a great antidote to depression and stress.
