From momentary frustrations to big, overwhelming events, we all face different kinds of stress in our lives. Here are ways to cope with stress and how to manage it in the healthiest possible ways.
Exercise is an important way to handle stress. By exercising you release other hormones that work to balance the adrenaline that stress can release in your body and create a sense of calm.
Maintain a proper diet consisting of whole foods. Avoid alcohol and stimulants, as they’re major sleep disruptors.
Sleep is extremely important for your whole health. Proper sleep is necessary to maintain the health of your body, mind and spirit.
Relaxation techniques such as prayer or meditation, and yoga or tai chi can be beneficial.
Having someone to talk to such as family, friends, religious leaders, physicians or therapists is also very useful for coping with stress in a healthy way.
