Today;'s word and journal focus is Nurture. Keeping stress at bay is an important piece in the puzzle of a healthy life.
Other suggestions for nurturing from Dr Hyman's book:
Take five breathing breaks. (concentrate on your breath, not what's going on around you)
Active relaxing- yoga, meditation, tai chi, listening to music.
Vigorous exercise.
Heat therapy- like a warm bath
Connect with others.
As a quilter being in my sewing room creating is a stress buster too!
What do you do to unwind from stress. (wine is not a healthy option!) LOL
Lori,

Stress busters--walking in nature, easy because I live on an acreage, working in the garden, doing mindless jobs, like sewing, cracking black walnuts, picking out walnuts, reading a good book, cutting scraps, relaxing in my recliner.
ReplyDeleteYoga, knitting, reading if I can't get outside. A run is good. The key for me is to find some quiet time.
ReplyDeleteStress is a biggie. Being active outdoors is the best!
