Stress takes a toll on us -- here is the second part of our series of stress relief tips!

Fix the source of the stress!

Deal with your anger. If your stress is caused by anger, find a non-destructive way of dealing with it. Don’t let it boil under the surface – deal with it now. Talk to – or write a letter to – the person who caused the anger. Sometimes writing a letter can be relaxing in itself, even if you never send it.

Set boundaries. Is your stress caused by trying to do too much for too many people? Learn to set boundaries – understand that you don’t have to do so much…that you need to have time for yourself! Draw a line in the sand and stick to it!

Change things. Did you lose a job? Are you in a bad relationship? Find a way to change your situation – stop stewing over it, stop worrying about it – find a way to do something about it. Did you realize that Bill Gates founded Microsoft during a recession? And he’s not the only one who’s done something amazing when times were tough. Put your mind to it and we bet you’ll be able to do something amazing too.

Consider Yoga or a Spiritual Approach

Another great way to relax and prepare for sleep is to practice yoga or something similar. When many of us think of Yoga, we picture a guru and strange ritual. But it’s not that complicated and it’s great for health, well-being and yes, even beauty!

Here are a few reasons to consider Yoga:

• Yoga helps increase your flexibility while stretching ligaments & tendons, lubricating joints and toning muscles!
• Some of the Yoga positions (particularly the Forward Bends) can help you shrink your tummy!
• Yoga helps restore elasticity of the spine and improve your posture.
• Almost all Yoga postures help to massage internal glands and organs, which helps keep the body’s systems functioning properly. This includes the endocrine system, the digestive system and the cardiovascular system!
• Regular meditation after your yoga session can help to calm your mind, decreasing anxiety and leaving you in a better mood.
• Yoga’s breathing exercises will help expand your lung capacity.
