I came across an interesting article the other day, Top Tips for Managing Stress by Scott Holford. After reading it, I began to think about how I personally handle stress from every day life...especially now with Christmas just a few days away! Truth be told, stress stinks and it is definitely not good for you.
Aside from Thinking Positive and Laughing as Mr. Holford states, I think eating right, exercising, and taking breaks / stepping away to re-charge / reflect are even more ways to eliminate stress. For me, running has been a big stress reliever over the past 4+ years. I never considered myself a runner but when I started, I was outside enjoying the fresh air, working up a sweat, and I started to think through things in my head - in a more positive, methodical, and productive way. I wasn't at my desk in front of my computer staring at the screen in a panic. I think you can relate, right?
We all know it: Stress is not good thing and we need to find ways to manage it - to have a more productive and happier life.
What do you do to manage your stress?
