"I'm not tense, just terribly, terribly alert."

  But in today's complex world there are more huge stressors:

  1. Increased responsibility work / home
  2. Child leaving home
  3. Change in residence
  4. Major change in diet
  5. Holiday - planning/experience (and seasonal holidays like christmas)
  6. Allergies (massive increase in people experiencing serious allergic reactions)
Some great stress relievers you can do right now?...
  • Sing along /Dance to an upbeat song - if you're in the office might need to be miming, or a car trip at lunchtime to listen to headbanging music LOUD. According to a Daily Mail survey these were top choices but sure you have your own:   Greatest Day - Take That; Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin, Dancing Queen - Abba, Finally - Ce Ce Peniston; Jump - Van Halen; Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana....
  • Draw a picture
  • Take a walk
  • Try Breathing Exercises
    • Fill your lungs with air - like you're filling up a bottle, so your lungs fill from the bottom.
    • Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
    • Breathe in slowly and regularly, count from one to five (you may not reach five at first but don't worry)
    • Then let the breath escape slowly - counting from one to five.
    • You should feel yourself relax and then breath without pausing or holding your breath
  • Or deep muscle relaxation:

    Find a warm, quiet place and get completely comfortable.  Close your eyes and focus on your breathing; breathe slowly and deeply.
    If you have pain in certain muscles, or if there are muscles that you find it difficult to focus on, spend more time on relaxing other parts.
    You may want to play some soothing music and let yourself try these techniques (they will take some practice).  It's useful to keep to the same order as you work through the muscle groups:
  • Face: push the eyebrows together, as though frowning.  Release.
  • Neck: gently tilt head forwards, pushing chin down towards chest, then slowly lift again.
  • Shoulders: shrug, pull shoulders up towards the ears.  Then relax down towards the feet.
  • Chest: breathe slowly and deeply using the whole of the lungs. Then breathe slowly out, allowing the belly to deflate as all the air is exhaled.
  • Arms: stretch the arms away from the body.  Reach, then relax.
  • Legs: push the toes away from the body, then pull them towards body.  Relax.
  • Wrists and hands: stretch the wrist by pulling the hand up towards you, and stretch out the fingers and thumbs, then relax.
  • Repeat and practice.
  • Work on becoming an optimist -  if you can make a conscious effort to look 'on the bright side' of thing there are endless benefits in health, achievements and even a longer life
  • Try Focused Meditation - clearing out your mind can enable you to be much calmer and focus on goals and happiness
  • Surround yourself with positivity - talk to an optimistic friend / listen to uplifting music / find a funny clip online / think of positive statements about you and what you want to achieve
