Healthguiders’s Stressbusters
Unwinding From The Pace
Much of the stress we experience every day can be attributed
to the pace of our lives. It can be a vicious cycle. The
more we achieve, the more is expected of us (or we expect
of ourselves), the more stressed we become and the faster
we work to keep up.
So, take a rain check regularly. Unwind, put your feet up
and pamper yourself.
- Maintain a hobby – preferably one that is not
linked to the clock. When we become engrossed in our hobbies
we stop worrying about the stresses in our lives.
- Take a good walk in the country – there is much
to be said for the relaxing effect of a pastoral environment.
- Try a non-competitive sport – sailing, canoeing,
and swimming for instance.
- Read a good book – a novel not a work-related
tome.
- Take up meditation or yoga.
