Fantastic And Free Ways To Relieve Stress
January 23rd, 2009 | 
Knowing a few nerve calming techniques can save your life, because stress is more than just unpleasant it’s also not healthy. Disciplined practices such as meditation can help relieve that stress, but what if you have no motivation or time? Maybe you need to try a few of these simple ways to relieve stress.
1. Give someone a big, loving hug. Hugging usually includes getting a hug in return..and there is nothing more relaxing than being in someone else’s arms.
2. Do it differently. Go do somethingyou usually don’t i.e. a member of the janitorial staff, or eat lunch on the balcony. Just doing anything that breaks the monotony of your normal behavior can be calming.
3. Give yourself a long warm bath. It calms your muscles, and gives you a break from those more stressful activities. Some find that an alternating hot and cold shower is even more relaxing.
4. Try ‘watching’ your thoughts. Spot those nasty thoughts that lurk just below the surface (hunger, worry, a phone call you need to make) and you can resolve them and feel more relaxed. If you practice this mindfulness exercise, it may become one of your favorite relaxation techniques.
5. Try laughing. The best way that I have found is to stand in front of a mirror, stark naked! That always gives me a good laugh; especially first thing in the morning. Just ensure it is a good ‘belly laugh’, one that makes your sides hurt and you become short of breath. Not only will it relax you but it burns calories too!
6. Use music. Keep your favorites at the office, in the car, or wherever you’ll need it most. Music can soothe that pile of nerve endings that is inside of all of us. Choose the tunes that bring up happy memories and use those to help you.
7. Leave the room for a while. This can really help if the things in the room or related to it are triggering your stressful thoughts. Why not get out for a little while? Just remember to not slam the door after you!
8. Take deep breaths. Try five deep breaths through your nose. Close your eyes and pay attention only to your breathing while doing this. It’s like a mini-meditation, and perhaps the most effective of the quick relaxation techniques.
9. Enjoy drinking something decaffeinated. Caffeine is a stimulant and causes a rapid heartbeat and increased mental stimulation. This can promote feelings of stress and anxiety.
10. Get out and about. If you have at least ten minutes to spare, going for a walk is one of the best relaxation techniques. While you’re at it, admire the scenery or go and talk to that person in technique 2.
11. Take off your shoes. Remember that scene in Pretty Woman where Richard Gere took his shoes and socks off. That reconnection with Nature has a remarkable effect.
